There is a limit of the size of values that can be indexed. I think it's 8k or something (a block I assume). Something for someone with an itch to fix in the future. The error however comes when you try to insert the value. Doing a reindex will not change the length of the value and will always work. -- /Dennis Björklund ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
