Re: Issue with Viewing Created Table in pgAdmin

Ok, I will check. That didn't help. As my screenshot below shows, when I click on the table in the left-hand column, it doesn't change that the table icon above remains grey, not black, and cannot be clicked. So, if this is what you mean when you say I should select the table, it proves that your theory about what is wrong is incorrect. Otherwise, you must mean that there is some other way for me to select the table, not the column node, and so you need to explain more clearly what you mean.

Hi,

It's because you have selected columns node not the table. Select table and right click on it.

The table that your screenshot is pointing at is grey, not black, in my screenshot, which means that it cannot be clicked. See the cropped image below:

Hi,

You need to select the table and then click on the View/Edit icon beside the query tool icon in object explorer.(or from the context menu of table). It should open the new window showing table data in the Data Output panel.

You can expect to screen like below.(Table does not have any data)

Kindly share a screenshot of the newly opened window if you face any issue.

Thanks,

I have already done that, as me and ChatGPT were trying to resolve this issue for about two hours and tried everything that ChatGPT could think of. For example, this is our chat when doing that:

...proceed with converting to the Query Tool tab. This will allow you to execute the SQL query I mentioned earlier to check if the table exists:
SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_name = 'Restaurants';


Click "OK" or "Yes" to confirm that you want to convert to the Query Tool tab.
Paste the SQL query (SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_name = 'Restaurants';) into the query editor.
Execute the query by clicking the play button or pressing F5.
Review the output to see if the Restaurants table exists in your database.
This approach will help verify if the table is indeed present in the database and potentially shed light on why it's not displaying correctly in the data view/edit mode. If the query returns information about the Restaurants table, then it exists, and you can proceed with further SQL operations as needed.
The result is SeoulKPopAdventuresMap in the table_catalog, table_schema is public, table_name is Restaurants, table_type, BASE TABLE, and everything else is [null] except for is_insertable_into which is yes, and is_typed, which is no.

Great! It looks like the Restaurants table exists in your database (SeoulKPopAdventuresMap) as a base table in the public schema. This confirms that the table creation was successful.

To view or edit the data within the Restaurants table using pgAdmin, you might need to ensure you are navigating to the correct section:

1. Navigate to the Table: Ensure you are looking under the correct database (SeoulKPopAdventuresMap) and schema (public) where the table was created.

2. View/Edit Data: Look for an option like "View/Edit Data" or "Browse Data" in pgAdmin. This should open a grid-like interface where you can see the rows of the Restaurants table.

3. Grid View: If clicking on the grid icon doesn't open the data grid view directly, try to refresh the interface or restart pgAdmin to ensure everything loads correctly.

If you're still having trouble finding or viewing the data, consider restarting pgAdmin or checking if there are any filters or settings preventing the table from being displayed. Sometimes, a simple refresh or reconnection to the database can resolve such issues.

I have already been doing the below all along:

But as I have already explained, what I am not seeing is a Grid View

Hi,

Are you able to locate the same table in object explorer? View/Edit data will appear in the context menu on the table.

Alternatively , you can open a query for the same table in the query tool to cross check if it is present. If it's present then, select the same database and click on 'Search Object' icon beside the filter icon in object explorer at top. Enter table name and click on search result. It will take you to the object location in the object explorer.

I successfully executed the following SQL to create a table named Restaurants in pgAdmin:

CREATE TABLE Restaurants (
    RestaurantID SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    RestaurantName VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    District VARCHAR(100),
    Neighborhood VARCHAR(100),
    CuisineCategory VARCHAR(100),
    CuisineSubcategory VARCHAR(100),

    Meals TEXT[],
    SignatureDishes TEXT[],
    OpenNow BOOLEAN DEFAULT false,
    OnlineBooking BOOLEAN DEFAULT false,
    Awards TEXT[],
    GoodFor TEXT[],
    RestaurantFeatures TEXT[]
);

The execution was confirmed successful in the Query History. However, despite following the steps provided by ChatGPT to view the table in pgAdmin, I am unable to locate it. Specifically, after navigating to the correct database (SeoulKPopAdventuresMap) and schema (public) and attempting to open "View/Edit Data" or "Browse Data," no table appears in the grid-like interface as expected.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue and ensure the table is correctly displayed in pgAdmin?

Sincerely,

Reuben, a new user.
