Create Primary Key on an existing table in PostgreSQL?

Although quite infrequent, you may come across situations wherein you need to define the primary key on an existing table. This can be achieved using the ALTER TABLE statement.The syntax is −ALTER TABLE table_name ADD PRIMARY KEY (column_name1, column_name2, …., columns_nameN)As can be seen from the above syntax, you can define PRIMARY KEY on multiple columns. When you have defined the PRIMARY KEY on multiple columns, the condition is that the column pairs should have unique and non-null values. Thus, if the PRIMARY KEY is defined on (column1, column2), the values (value1, value2), (value3, value2), and (value1, value4) are allowed. ... Read More

Let us create a new table containing a single timestamp column −CREATE TABLE timestamp_test(    ts timestamp );Now let us populate it with some data −INSERT INTO timestamp_test(ts) VALUES(current_timestamp), (current_timestamp+interval '5 days'), (current_timestamp-interval '18 hours'), (current_timestamp+interval '1 year'), (current_timestamp+interval '3 minutes'), (current_timestamp-interval '6 years');If you query the table (SELECT * from timestamp_test), you will see the following output −ts2021-01-30 19:23:24.0080872021-02-04 19:23:24.0080872021-01-30 01:23:24.0080872022-01-30 19:23:24.0080872021-01-30 19:26:24.0080872015-01-30 19:23:24.008087Now, in order to extract hour, minute, etc. from the timestamp column, we use the EXTRACT function. Some examples are shown below −SELECT EXTRACT(HOUR from ts) as hour from timestamp_testOutput −hour19191191919Similarly −SELECT EXTRACT(MONTH from ts) as ... Read More

Often, we have some very long table names, and writing the table name every time is troublesome. We can use aliasing to help us there, thanks to which, we will need to write the long table name only once.The table aliases are generally written in the FROM part of the statement, or the JOIN part.For example, consider that we have two tables, marks, and student_info, defined respectively below −marksnameroll_noperc_marksAniket1224Siddhi4565Yash2642Isha5687student_infonameroll_noagegenderAniket1226MIsha5625FSiddhi4523FYash2625MNow, if you want to see the name, roll_no, perc_marks, and age of the student in one query, your query will look like this −SELECT marks.name, marks.roll_no, marks.perc_marks, student_info.age FROM marks LEFT ...

Suppose you have a table exam_scores containing 5 columns. An example is given below with some dummy data.nameroll_nosubjecttotal_marksmarks_obtainedAnil1English10056Anil1Math10065Anil1Science10045Roy2English10078Roy2Math10098Roy2Science10067Now, one student could have sat for exams of multiple subjects, and therefore, there are multiple rows for 1 student. If you wish to find out the total number of students in the class, you may want to find the number of distinct values of roll_no. You can apply the distinct constraint on a specific column as follows −SELECT DISTINCT ON (roll_no) name, roll_no FROM exam_scores ORDER BY roll_no DESCHere’s what the output of the above query will look like −nameroll_noRoy2Anil1You can also ...

If you are a programmer, you may be very familiar with IF-ELSE statements. The equivalent in PostgreSQL is CASE WHEN.Let’s understand with an example. If you have table marks containing percentage marks of a student, and you want to find out whether the students have passed or failed. An example table is given below.nameperc_marksAnil24Joy65Ron42Reena87Say the passing marks are 40. Now, if the student has scored above 40 marks, we want to print ‘PASS’ against that student’s name, otherwise ‘FAIL’. This is how you can do it −SELECT name, CASE WHEN perc_marks >= 40 THEN 'PASS' ELSE 'FAIL' END status from ... Read More

How to get current timestamp and relative timestamps in PostgreSQL?

Yash Sanghvi
Updated on 02-Feb-2021 12:54:56
Quite often, you need the current timestamp in PostgreSQL. You do that as follows −SELECT current_timestampIt will output the current time. The output will look like the following −2021-01-30 15:52:14.738867+00Now, what if you want the relative time instead of the current time? For example, if you want the time corresponding to 5 hours prior to the current time, you can get it using intervals.SELECT current_timestamp - interval '5 hours'The output will be different every time. At the time of writing this, the output was −2021-01-30 10:57:13.28955+00 You can also do these operations on date instead of timestampsSELECT current_dateOutput2021-01-30SELECT current_date + ...
