Hello lucas
Yes, it is true -- with Pgsql 7.3, too.
There is a way to get around it, however, but requires creating temp
table, selecting, inserting and renaming back to original name. The php
user's guide explains this in detail.
But there is an easier way to do this, once you heve installed phpPgAdmin
(http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net). phpPgAdmin automates the procedure to
create/select/insert/rename to one click.
