I'm on a Linux RH 7.2 system, which came with Pg 7.1.2 (I think). When there, I prototyped some code that worked well, and looked like: create table ref_sp ( name varchar(10), sname char(1), bitmask bit(6) ); insert into ref_sp values ('one', '1', b'01'); insert into ref_sp

In the case that you moved your backup to another system where possibly the shared library (.so) where the function exists is on a different location then thats the problem, in which case you only need to recreate the function (with the same isstrict,iscachable attributes). -- Achilleus Mantzio
