So I designed a Bank database in MySQL, and now I want to convert some syntax to PostgreSQL
this is my account and branch table :

CREATE TABLE `account` (
  `accountnumber` int(80) NOT NULL,
  `balance` text COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
  `date` date NOT NULL,
  `time` time NOT NULL,
  `branchID` int(25) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;

CREATE TABLE `branch` (
  `branchID` int(25) NOT NULL,
  `bName` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
  `bCity` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
  `assests` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
  `mainbankID` int(10) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;

I converted it already, but I have problems with these parts:

ALTER TABLE `account`
  ADD PRIMARY KEY (`accountnumber`),
  ADD KEY `branchID` (`branchID`);

ALTER TABLE `account`
  ADD CONSTRAINT `account_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`branchID`) REFERENCES `branch` (`branchID`);

for example, I tried to write the first one like this, and I got errors:

ALTER TABLE account
  ADD PRIMARY KEY (accountnumber),
  ADD KEY branchID (branchID);

and I got this error :

type "branchid" does not exist

and here’s my piece of code that I converted and working in PostgreSQL :

  1. First, you need to replace the backticks (`) with standard conforming double quotes ("). This will also prevent branchID from getting folded to lower case.

    Second, instead of ALTER TABLE ... ADD KEY (colname) you have to use ALTER TABLE ... ADD UNIQUE (colname). You need a unique constraint as target of foreign key.
