Are you perchance doing joins involving INET or CIDR types where the old database is 7.3.x and the new database is 7.4.x? I ask because I discovered a problem with the 7.4.x = operator when I was (hastily) writing the prototype for the application I think you're working on. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2004-04/msg00453.php If this is the problem you're having, then it should be mentioned on the project Wiki that Chris F. set up, if it still exists. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
