It is better to send plain text messages instead of html.

It is a pain to respond to emails in HTML format.

Subject: [GENERAL] MS SQL - PostgreSQL

Dear Mailing List member,
I have been using MS SQL for a few years and now I am trying to migrate to PostgreSQL.
Are there any statements that similir for :
** - if [not] exists (select 1 from sysdatabases where name=[db_name])
******** drop database [db_name]
DC >>
Look at pg_database
<< DC
** - if [not] exists (select 1 from sysobjects where type = 'U' and* name = [table_name])
******** drop table [table_name]
DC >>
Look at pg_tables
<< DC
** - if exists (select 1 from sysindexes where name = [index_name] and indid > 0)
******** drop index [table_name].[index_name]
DC >>
Look at pg_indexes
<< DC
** - If in MS SQL there is 'store procedured', what about in PostgreSQL ?
DC >>
Sure.
<< DC

** - is there any tools, like bcp (bulk copy) in postgresql ?
>>
Look at the copy command.

There are some real nice PostgreSQL manuals online. Try this:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/index.html

it has a search function too.
