User/Groups

From
Michael Fork
Date:
I am trying to populate a select box on a form with all users in the group
with the sysid of 1 using the following query:

SELECT usename FROM pg_user, pg_group WHERE pg_user.usesysid IN 
pg_group.grolist AND pg_group.grosysid = 1;

however, everytime I run it I recieve the following error:

ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "pg_group"

which leads me to belive that the IN operator is not correct, is there
another one that I should be using?  Thanks in advance.

Michael,

The IN operator should precede a sub query.

E.g.

SELECT usename FROM pg_user, pg_group WHERE pg_group.grosysid = 1 and
pg_user.usesysid IN (select usesysid from pg_group);

This probably doesn't do what you want. The example is just to
demonstrate the point.

Somewhere in contrib/ there is some array walking code which is what you
want. I'm not thoroughly familiar with it, though.

In the postgreSQL contrib tree is modul (array_iterator) with operators 
for arrays. 

A solution for you:

SELECT    usename 
FROM    pg_user, pg_group 
WHERE    pg_group.grolist *= pg_user.usesysid AND pg_group.grosysid = 1;
