 Let me try that again.  Do you think I'd need to reinstall the server 
 itself to insure the proper behavior?

No, reinstalling the extension should fix it.

Also, there is a mailing list for this extension as well:

 I have added support for this in the CVS repository, but have not
 included it in the latest release. The thing that's missing from the
 released files is a btree opclass, which is what postgresql uses to
 find the right equality operator for DISTINCT.

Sorry, I missed this the first time.

I have added support for this in the CVS repository, but have not
included it in the latest release. The thing that's missing from the
released files is a btree opclass, which is what postgresql uses to
find the right equality operator for DISTINCT.

I am currently working on range types which is a patch that will
provide support for PERIOD, as well as many other range types, in core.
That will, of course, support everything you expect, including DISTINCT
on the range type.

We're currently in the middle of the final commit fest for 9.1. After
this is over (or perhaps earlier, if I can find the time), I'll do some
clean up of the existing pgsql-temporal PERIOD type, and do a release of
that.

Regards,
Jeff Davis

[GENERAL] temporal period type and select distinct gives equality error

2011-01-23 Thread Arturo Perez
Hi all,

I'm using the temporal contrib package that creates the period type and 
a bunch of operators in postgresql 8.4.5.  I plan to use the same code 
against 9.0 so if anything differs between the two regarding this issue 
please let me know.

In psql the \do command shows this
 public | =| period | period  | boolean  | 

and yet when I do a select distinct with a join I get

QueryLogger - *** error.
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: could not identify an equality 
operator for type period

If I leave the period column out of the select list then it works fine.

Did I install it wrong?  Or is something else going on?
