RE: [gnome-db] input values in SQL view

["Daniel Morgan" <danmorg sc rr com>]

Try 'aaaa' instead of just aaaa using the single quotes.  I think its up to
the user to decide whether it is being compared to a character field or
numeric field.   And if the field being compared to is character, then the
user should use single quotes.

SELECT * FROM SOMETABLE WHERE NUMERIC_COLUMN = :field1

Enter field1 value: 5

SELECT * FROM SOMETABLE WHERE CHARACTER_COLUMN = :field1

Enter field1 value: 'blah'

Anyways, just my two bits...

:)

Nice feature!

If you try "select * from customers where name = :field1", and enter
"aaa" for example, it will give you an error: "ERROR:  Attribute 'aaaaa'
not found" which is not what it's supposed to do.
