Hi,
Sorry to post again, but I feel this issue is a bit strange and I'd like to
understand it. The problem is that I've got the same query that runs
sometimes, and fails with a syntax error at other times... It's the first
time I've seen it, and I've been using PostgreSQL for a while now ...
Thanks in advance.
