Dialect differences
PostgreSQL is a database server and HTML is a file format, so the gap is wider than a dialect difference - the rows below are where values and structure stop lining up.
| Property | in PostgreSQL | in HTML |
|---|---|---|
| port | 5432 | — |
| identifiers | "double quotes" | Attribute values in quotes; entities for reserved characters |
| row limit | LIMIT n | — |
| dates | timestamp, timestamptz, date, time | Whatever text was rendered |
| long text | TEXT | — |
| binary | BYTEA | data: URIs inside src attributes |
| separator | — | Tags, not delimiters |
| encoding | — | Declared in a meta charset tag or the HTTP header |
| typing | — | None |
| shape | Tables of rows and columns | Free form; tables are row/column structures inside markup |
| ceiling | — | No formal limit |
Command line
| Side | Command |
