create table if not exists xx AS select ...
Hi All,
I am not entirely sure if this is a bug (fails on 9.3 and 9.4) or working
as intended:
create table if not exists test (
foo boolean
);
create table if not exists test2 as
select * from test where 1=0;
/*
ERROR: syntax error at or near "as"
LINE 1: create table if not exists test2 as
*/
create table test2 as
select * from test where 1=0;
Thanks
Daniel

This works as intended, CREATE TABLE AS does not support IF NOT EXISTS
in 9.4 and 9.3:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/sql-createtableas.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/sql-createtableas.html
But it does in 9.5 and onwards:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/sql-createtableas.html

Thanks Michael,
I suppose I should have checked the docs for CREATE TABLE AS and not
just CREATE
TABLE :)
