ERROR: invalid input syntax for type real: "infinity" Perhaps PostgreSQL doesn't handle a longstanding misbehavior of strtod() on Solaris: when passed "Infinity" or its equivalent, strtod() sets endptr to point one character beyond the terminating null character instead of to the null character itself. I asked about this today in comp.unix.solaris and was told that it's a bug that will be fixed in Solaris 10. Here's a similar report from over nine years ago: http://groups.google.com/groups?&threadm=3oeojn%24jhk%40agate.berkeley.edu The thread I started hasn't showed up at groups.google.com yet, but I think this link will eventually point to it: http://groups.google.com/groups?&threadm=4118e611%241_3%40omega.dimensional.com -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
