This doesn't look like a bug. If you still have problems solving this, you should probably start a new thread on pgsql-general or pgsql-novice. If you can create a small self-contained test case, which starts with creating and populating tables, so that others can reproduce your issue, you'll be able to get more specific help. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
