All of the tutorials and the Agile book use MySQL and I’ve got that
working. I am now trying to use PostgreSQL and can’t seem to get going.
Is my problem the db setup in postgresql?
I have installed postgres-pr
The error message when I try to access http://localhost:3000/clients
when using PostgreSQL (MySQL works fine)
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (RuntimeError:
ERROR C42501 Mpermission denied for relation
clients Faclchk.c L987 Raclcheck_error: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM
clients ):

*** there’s more but I didn’t think I needed to ***
Postgres setup…
CREATE TABLE clients (
id serial primary key NOT NULL,
first_name character varying(25) NOT NULL,
middle_initial character varying(1) NOT NULL,
last_name character varying(25) NOT NULL,
gov_id character varying(18) NOT NULL,
dob date
);
MySQL setup
CREATE TABLE clients (
id int(8) NOT NULL auto_increment,
first_name varchar(25) NOT NULL default ‘’,
middle_initial char(1) NOT NULL default ‘’,
last_name varchar(25) NOT NULL default ‘’,
gov_id varchar(18) default NULL,
dob date default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Well, that’s pretty clear…
What user did you login as to create the tables? The
same user you configured into Rails?
Did you give a GRANT command of any sort?

I don’t think it’s related to the error, but gov_id
should be an INT4, if you’re planning on using Rails’
conventions.
And, if you’re not planning on using Rails’
conventions at the beginning of a project, you’re
making a mistake.
P.S. Check out the migrations video on the RoR
website. I held out for a while (avoiding
learning yet another brand new concept) but
I just finished converting my schema to an
initial migration and it’s very, very cool.

duh - I would swear that I checked this out many times but it turns out
that this must be the issue as it worked when I set the user to postgres
Did you give a GRANT command of any sort?
probably during many of the create/drop cycles and didn’t this last
time. Obviously this will be the solution to my problem. Thanks

I lacked the right term for it when I was creating it - it’s not a
social security number and not really a number at all, but sometimes
letters and numbers which I see as a text string.

I’m starting from scratch and in the meantime plowing through the Agile
book and haven’t gotten to migrations yet but I did see the video and
thought it cool. Obviously I am going to have a lot of iterations before
I get any real work done but I wanted to start playing with it since
that is the only way I will learn and all of the demonstrations use
MySQL and I want to get to PostgreSQL and away from MySQL and you have
enabled me to do that…thanks
