As far as I can see NIST (http://www.itl.nist.gov/div897/ctg/sql_form.htm) tests are used *only* for testing SQL92 conformance. Latest available test suite version 6, dated 12/1996. Are you using about 6-7 years old test suite? Perhaps I am wrong, I would be happy If someone could point me up-to-date info about NIST conformance testing. regards, Alvis Tunkelis ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
