- The question is about SQL Server though. Your answer will work only in Postgres.ypercubeᵀᴹ– ypercubeᵀᴹ2020-02-14 19:23:31 +00:00Commented Feb 14, 2020 at 19:23
- @ypercubeᵀᴹ Microsoft SQL Server. The misunderstand was caused by their chaos-marketing.peterh– peterh2020-02-14 19:50:55 +00:00Commented Feb 14, 2020 at 19:50
- @peterh-ReinstateMonica not sure what you are referring to. How can one confuse PostgreSQL with SQL Server, when both products are 20+ years old?ypercubeᵀᴹ– ypercubeᵀᴹ2020-02-14 20:33:21 +00:00Commented Feb 14, 2020 at 20:33
- 1The answer is good by the way. Just not for this question with the specific tags.ypercubeᵀᴹ– ypercubeᵀᴹ2020-02-14 20:34:52 +00:00Commented Feb 14, 2020 at 20:34
- @ypercubeᵀᴹ SQL means the query language. An SQL server is a process serving SQL language requests. There are many different SQL server products, PostgreSQL is one of them. Also Microsoft has an SQL server product, they call it "SQL Server" and not "Microsoft SQL Server", which is a dirty marketing trick. Also the other answer looks PostgreSQL-ish to me a little bit, but I am not sure.peterh– peterh2020-02-14 20:37:51 +00:00Commented Feb 14, 2020 at 20:37

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. sql-server), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
