Re: Copying a column into a temp. table

Thank you, I've created the following script which seems to work ok.

I just hope, that it won't be hit by the max_stack_depth-problem
which actually forced me to look for a custom solution -

   SQL ERROR [ postgres ]
   ERROR: stack depth limit exceeded HINT: Increase the configuration
   parameter "max_stack_depth". []

   SQL
   DELETE FROM phpbb_posts WHERE post_id IN (334767, ..skipped.., 382871)
