I am new to Drupal, and I have tried to migrate my old content management system into Drupal with little success.
I have installed LAPP package (Apache2 + PostgreSQL + PHP) on CentOS box, and installed Drupal package 6.x including modules of Views, Table Wizards, CCK, Schema, Advanced Help, etc. (all the extra modules are enabled). I have moved my old database into the newly installed PostgreSQL, everything seems working ok until I hit a problem below:
When I tried to create a view for a database table (named "explanation"), the "Filters" in the view editor is supposedly to show "published" or something like that based on my understanding, however instead it shows a column list of my DB table "explanation". Therefore I cannot make the view page "published". Did I miss something or it is a bug.
Here is a list of modules and versions I installed:
(1) drupal-6.13.tar.gz
(2) View 2: views-6.x-2.6.tar.gz
(3) Schema: schema-6.x-1.5.tar.gz
(4) Table Wizard: tw-6.x-1.1.tar.gz
(5) Advanced Help: advanced_help-6.x-1.2.tar.gz
(6) CCK: cck-6.x-2.5.tar.gz
(7) filefield: filefield-6.x-3.1.tar.gz
(8) getid3: getid3-6.x-1.2.tar.gz and its depedency library getid3-1.7.9.zip
(9) mimedetect: mimedetect-6.x-1.2.tar.gz
Your help is highly appreciated.

You select "published" as a
You select "published" as a filter in Views in order to cause Views to only display those nodes that have been published versus not-published. Published is a selection in creating content. So is 'promote to front page,' and 'sticky at top.'
