5 min readTo insert data with a select query in PostgreSQL, you can use the INSERT INTO statement along with the SELECT statement. First, write the INSERT INTO statement followed by the table name and column names where you want to insert the data. Then, use the SELECT statement to retrieve the data that you want to insert into the table. Make sure that the column names in the SELECT statement match the column names in the INSERT INTO statement.

2 min readTo concatenate two strings in a PostgreSQL function, you can simply use the concatenate operator (||). For example, you can create a function like this:CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION concat_strings(str1 text, str2 text) RETURNS text AS $$ BEGIN RETURN str1 || str2; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;This function takes two text parameters (str1 and str2) and returns the concatenated string of the two input strings. You can then call this function with the two strings you want to concatenate as arguments.

4 min readTo access a specific database in PostgreSQL, you can use the command \c followed by the database name. For example, if you want to access a database named "mydatabase", you would type \c mydatabase in the PostgreSQL command line interface. This will switch your current connection to the specified database, allowing you to perform queries and operations within that database.

4 min readTo only list the group roles with PostgreSQL, you can use the following SQL query:SELECT rolname FROM pg_roles WHERE rolname != 'rdsadmin';This query will retrieve the names of all group roles in the PostgreSQL database, excluding the 'rdsadmin' default role. You can customize the query further based on your specific requirements for listing group roles in PostgreSQL.[rating:dc3bb8f1-bf14-46f8-a39b-16fc925c6a8c]How to access group roles in PostgreSQL.

5 min readIn PostgreSQL scripts, you can store a constant value by using a variable and setting it to a specific value using the DECLARE keyword. This variable can then be referenced throughout the script whenever that constant value is needed. Another option is to use a SET statement to set a session variable to a constant value that can be accessed in the script. Alternatively, you can also define the constant value as a column in a table and retrieve it as needed in the script.

This can be done by modifying the configuration file (postgresql.conf) and changing the setting for the "default_text_search_config" parameter to "pg_catalog.simple". Additionally, when creating tables and defining columns, specify the data type as varchar for string columns.

3 min readIn PostgreSQL, the algorithm used for converting UUID to text is based on the following steps:The UUID is a 128-bit value that is typically represented as a 32-character hexadecimal number.To convert the UUID to text, PostgreSQL uses the built-in uuid_out function, which converts the UUID to a standardized text format.This text format typically includes the 32 hexadecimal characters as well as hyphens at certain positions to improve readability.

4 min readTo get a large number from a JSON response using Groovy, you can first parse the JSON response using the JsonSlurper class. Once you have the parsed JSON object, you can access the specific field containing the large number using dot notation or array notation. Then, you can convert the extracted value to a number datatype if needed by using the toLong() or toDouble() methods. Finally, you can perform any necessary operations or processing on the large number as required by your application.
