For someone who is following this tutorial currently : 1) at around 01:06:00 when you go through the SQL file in VSCode , do change the value of varchar of gender greater than 20 because Mockaroo includes more than 2 genders in randomly generated database which will throw an error during its execution through cli when not changed. 2)When using terminal (for windows users ) , you might get errors during execution of sql file through cli due to path format which can easily be dealt with --> before even opening your postgres ,navigate through the command line where the actual file is located and then open postgres and use \i filename.extension to execute your file. 3)When installing postgres , always provide passwords without any alphanumeric characters like "$" otherwise it will throw an error during the installation phase ( I don't know what is that error as it was really vague but this worked for me).

For Windows users, the command 'psql' only will work if you edit the environment variables and add 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin' to your path, the 13 it's the version of Postgres i've installed. After that, the command you have to enter on the cmd or powershell is: psql -U postgres then it will ask for the password you set on the installation

To anyone getting an error when using the psql command in Windows Terminal: You need to add "psql" to your system path variables: - In the search bar, type "env" and click on "Edit the system environment variables" - Click on "Environment Variables" - Then, in the "System Variables" table, click on the column with the Variable name "Path" and then click on "Edit" - Click on "New" and paste the path to the "bin" folder of your psql installation. E.g. in my case, its "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin", but it could be different based on where you installed PostgreSQL or what version you have. Now restart the Console, and the command should work.

[@BexruzXolmuminov]

Im getting this prompt after I have typed "psql" Password for user "****": (Note "****" is my folder path, that looks like this when i open command prompt-> C:\Users\"****">) When i enter my postgressql database password, it says psql: error: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "****" My postgressql username is set to default, and not "****".

For Windows users it's even easier, even though it seems to be confusing, just enter database name when it ask for it. This how it looks in the shell: - Server [localhost]: Database [postgres]: test Port [5433]: Username [postgres]: Password for user postgres:your_pw - Please note when you connect for the first time you are actually connect to default one and that's why you don't enter any name, it will have name"postgres", and the owner is also default one, guess the name - "postgres". - When you login with all empty parameters you noted line in terminal like "postgres=#", well the part before "=#" is actually name of database, so in this default case "postgres". - You noted he has owner "amigoscode" (when he list all databases) , it's actually added role, check postgres documentation how to add role and change owner of table. - Also, when you are in "postgres=#" database you can easily switch to another (that is already created, it won't create it by itself) database using command: \c another_database_name (example: "postgres=# \c test" result: "test=#")

If you're having trouble in AVG, use this "SELECT AVG(price::money::numeric) from car;" and this basically casts the VARCHAR money to Money (adds commas every 3 numbers) and casts the result to a number (decimal) as numeric is an alias for decimal in postgreSQL.

Halfway through, and it's a great course so far. Some of the material is a little dated, as Postgresql has made some changes as they are at version 15+. For example: Postgresql uses "SELECT factorial(5);" now instead of "SELECT 5!;" to get the factorial of 5. Might be time for an updated course.

[@anandakumarsanthinathan4740]

AT 2:03:39, SELECT 10 / 2 gives a result of 5. If we are to try SELECT 10 / 4, it would give the answer as 2, and not 2.5. This is because of the way computers work. An integer divided by an integer will always yield an integer. On the other hand, if you are to type-in SELECT 10.0 / 4, then you would get the right answer 2.5, because in this case the numerator is not an integer any more and is a fractional decimal number. And so the answer given out is also a fractional decimal number.

It is not the first PostgreSQL tutorial I watch, but this one is the best. Thank you)))))

This is fantastic, and I am learning a lot. It is nice to have someone who takes it slow and allows you to follow through the command line perspective. Very helpful. One thing I think might be a mistake, or correct me if I am confused, but around 1:19:00 you give an example of "SELECT * FROM person ORDER BY id, email". I am pretty sure that SQL never gets to sorting by email considering the first item it is sorting by is a primary key. Am I right there? You make reference to the emails all starting with a at the top, but that must just be coincidental, no? Thanks a million for this video, and I look forward to finishing it and recommending it to anyone who wants to learn SQL!

I'm at 35:00, using windows and bversion 12 of PostgresQL, and the commands seem completely different. first off I get a prompt that says "(database name)=#", rather than the ~ he gets, second, the --h commans isnt working. I'm typing in "help" to get commands, and it says \h for sql help, and \? for psql help. I typed in \? assuming it would show me the same PSQL help it shows on the video, but it shows a completely different set of commands, al starting with \ instead of with --. I haven't watched the rest of the video, but so far it seems like it's different for windows. I hope not. EDIT: I did manage to do the rest of the tutorial without problems, it works on windows aswell, I just skipped this step in particular. Wonderful tutorial. However I'm having trouble trying to add a NOT NULL constraint to an already created row. Is this possible? I'm using " ALTER TABLE person MODIFY name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL; " and it says there's a syntax error around modify. Any help?

[@Naveenkashyap243]

do 'ALTER TABLE person ALTER COUMN name SET VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL;' this might help

[@darkdraconium]

Thank you for including this top bit, when it got to this point in the video I was dreading that this video might have already gotten out dated as I'm also working with 12 myself.

Definitely the best psql tutorial for beginners i have ever seen ! Thank you sir.

[@shivangchaturvedi237]

One update for 2:04:24 : SELECT 100!; gives an error. So alternatively, one can use SELECT FACTORIAL(4); to get the answer. Give a 👍 if this helped you.

I'm only in the 20th minute but I liked this tutorial soo much, Thanks man !

[@inventaunmanana4860]

In 1:57:00 you might not be able to calculate the average of the price column. This happens if you generated the table using the dollar sign on the price. The solution I found is: cast price to a text, replace the '$' by nothing (' '), and cast back to numeric: SELECT AVG(REGEXP_REPLACE(price::text, '[$,]', '', 'g')::numeric) from car;

[@venusbahrami2875]

can you say where we should use it?

[@olakunleoluwatobi3054]

Thanks, it worked.

[@rgraptor2542]

This dollar sign also can cause an error, "invalid input syntax for type numeric", another way to fix if you don't want to regenerate the data is to go into the vscode file and highlight one of the dollar signs and ctrl+shift+L which should select every dollar sign then delete them and save it. edit: or someone else says you can switch the data type in the file from NUMERIC to MONEY

[@ladibakare7794]

Really good, for beginners or as a refresher to prepare interviews. Just a small improvement that could be made: I was especting a chapter to explain (summarize) the differents types of alter table queries (ie ADD, DROP, MODIFY, CHANGE). It would be an honor to help you providing a french version of these courses.

For those who are wondering where to run "psql" --> Run it in command prompt If it says 'psql' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. Set the path in an environment variable (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnalnImwfqehpcU) and run the command "psql -U postgres" in command prompt and enter your password

[@yatskovych]

Thank you! I tried simply running the command "psql", without "-U postgres", but it didn't accept my password. Thanks to you, I now realize that one needs to state the user by using -U

[@varshamane2374]

Thanks for your help .😊

[@vandergaming8952]

There is a problem with the new Mockaroo options. You have to have a currency infront of the NUMERIC value, which creates a problem when importing the file into a terminal (at least in windows). you'd have to use Studio Code, Edit > Repalce > Find $ (whatever currency) and leave the replace with what as blank. Hold down enter until it replaced every line. Save and import.

[@wOhtest]

Thanks. Same thing on MAC. You literally save my dawn studying. Lol

[@mitchelldirt]

Alternatively you can change the data type to MONEY :) EDIT: You'll need to specify how you want to average your money type by doing AVG(price::numeric) NOTE: To output a factorial you'll need to use factorial(number) if using postgres >= 14
