====Your name : Eric Jain Your email address : [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Configuration --------------------- Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : Intel Pentium Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : Linux 2.4.18-19.8.0smp PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-7.3): PostgreSQL-7.3.3 Compiler used (example: gcc 2.95.2) : gcc 3.2 Please enter a FULL description of your problem: ------------------------------------------------ Can't create index on text column containing a specific value: ERROR: index_formtuple: data takes 8720 bytes, max is 8191 Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a concise reproducible example, if at all possible: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) CREATE TABLE statements ( model TEXT NOT NULL, statement TEXT, subject TEXT NOT NULL, predicate TEXT NOT NULL, object_resource TEXT, object_string TEXT, object_number DOUBLE PRECISION ) WITHOUT OIDS ; 2) COPY statements FROM 'statements.tab'; /* See attachment */ 3) CREATE INDEX object_string_index ON statements(object_string); Note: Can't reproduce this error with other values, even if they are larger. But I do not see what is special about the offending string, it doesn't seem to contain any characters outside the range A-Z. Interestingly, octet_length(object_string) does not produce 8720, but 8797. If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below: --------------------------------------------------------------------- A temporary workaround may be to create an index on "substr(object_string for 100)"...
