help

Hi, All!

When I execute this:

UPDATE HTMLPAGE SET PAGE_URL = REPLACE(PAGE_URL, '.dot', '.html') WHERE
PAGE_URL LIKE '%.dot';

I get the following error from psql.  Could you tell me what is wrong or how
to fix it?

Thanks,

Alex
Failed to execute SQL : SQL UPDATE HTMLPAGE SET PAGE_URL = REPLACE(PAGE_URL,

This seems to be an application error and not something PostgreSQL is
issuing on its own. The htmlpage table seems to have an update trigger on
it that checks for the validity of a template id. Since it is a trigger and
not a constraint it is possible/likely the trigger was added without
validating existing data. Your update must hit one or more records that do
not meet the conditions that the triggers sets forth so the trigger performs
a "RAISE ERROR 'Template Id should be the identifier of a template'". You
will need to speak with someone responsible for maintaining the database.
