Gonzo: You need to make sure that you delimit your values correctly. To insert text fields (which may contain spaces) use 'single quotes'. You'll also want to enter date fields the same way. So, you should try INSERT INTO OP (op_num,op_name,start_time) VALUES (5400,'Welding','06:00:00'); Of course, you're probably using the "time" data type, which means that 6:00:00 really means 6:00 in the morning!

Josh, Fuck you and the high horse you rode in on. Yes as a matter of fact I did forget the quote marks. Do you think reading that book will help with my silly syntactical errors? Do you think I did not pull my hair out prior to posting? Sometimes the obvious just eludes the smartest of us. Perhaps a better answer would have been: Gonzo, Maybe that question belongs in the pgsql-novice list instead. This list is for the experts like myself. Thanks, Josh ------------ Personally I think you are as Spiritually Bankrupt as that Silly website you have been working on. ------------ later, Gonzo Oh and P.S. Thanks for the clue. I'm not spinning my wheels on that one anymore, but I'm sure I'll run up aginst something else soon enough.

Gonzo, > F*** you and the high horse you rode in on. Please restrain yourself from posting strong language to the list. If you want to use stong language at me, please e-mail it directly. Further, I e-mailed an apology for touching a nerve, but you appear to have supplied an invalid reply-to address -- thus forcing me to reply to the list. > Gonzo, > > Maybe that question belongs in the pgsql-novice list instead. This > list is > for the experts like myself. Hey, you're right. I'll use something similar to that reply next time. -Josh ______AGLIO DATABASE SOLUTIONS___________________________ Josh Berkus Complete informationtechnology josh@agliodbs.com and data management solutions (415) 565-7293 for law firms, small businesses fax 621-2533 and non-profit organizations.

All Josh did was to put the IMNSHO appropriate "Read The Fine Manual" into polite words. And I don't see a problemwith that. Maybe reading that book might help you. Maybe reading any book about SQL might help you. I guesssomehow Josh got the impression you haven't tried that yet. > Oh and P.S. Thanks for the clue.

Feel free to do so and be sure that you'll get the answer (maybe with some tips where to gather that information yourself :-). But stay calm and show the same amount of tolerance you want to get.
