MySQL's INSERT UPDATE
Option 1) Write a function like:
CREATE FUNCTION doinsert(_id integer, _value text) RETURNS void AS $$
BEGIN
UPDATE thetable SET value = _value WHERE id = _id;
IF NOT FOUND THEN
INSERT INTO thetable(id, value) VALUES (_id, _value);
END IF
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Option 2) Use two SQL statements:
-- update the existing UPDATE realTable SET VALUE = (SELECT VALUE FROM tmp WHERE tmp.id = realTable.id) WHERE EXISTS (SELECT VALUE FROM tmp WHERE tmp.id = realTable.id); -- insert the missing INSERT INTO realTable(id, value) SELECT id, value FROM tmp WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM realTable WHERE tmp.id = realTable.id);
MySQL's AUTO INCREMENT
- Oracle:
SEQUENCE - MySQL:
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT - PostgreSQL:
id SERIALoderSEQUENCE
Syntactic sugar: SERIAL
CREATE TABLE ( Identifier SERIAL; -- ... );
Explizite Variante: SEQUENCE
SEQUENCE-Definition
CREATE SEQUENCE myseq;
SEQUENCE-Verwendung
entweder als Standard-Wert der Spalte:
CREATE TABLE (
Identifier NUMBER DEFAULT nextval('myseq');
-- ...
);
oder explizit beim Einfügen neuer Zeilen:
INSERT ... INTO VALUES(nextval('myseq'), 'Name', ...);
MySQL's DROP TABLE IF EXIST
- Existiert auch in PostgreSQL ab Version 8.2
- Bei früheren Versionen gibt es einen Workaround:
- % select count(*) from pg_class where relname = 'mytable'
- return 1 if mytable exists, and 0 if it doesn't
- so you can run a DROP TABLE command (or not) based on the returned value.
MySQL's INT UNSIGNED (Cardinal)
- MySQL: column INT UNSIGNED
- PostgreSQL: column INT CHECK (column > 0)
MySQL's Index-Typ
- MySQL: INDEX idx_id(id)
- PostgreSQL: CREATE INDEX idx_id ON TABLENAME(id);
MySQL's Query Resultset Limit
- MySQL: SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 10, 5
- PostgreSQL: SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 5 OFFSET 10
