Hello, pgsql-bugs. Documentation says: "User-defined type names cannot begin with the underscore character (_) and can only be 62 characters long (or in general NAMEDATALEN - 2, rather than the NAMEDATALEN - 1 characters allowed for other names). Type names beginning with underscore are reserved for internally-created array type names. "
However, such SQL may be executed: CREATE TYPE _my AS (id int4, id2 int4); And server treats it as array type. Thus next SQL will be executed too: CREATE TABLE my_table( my_arr my[] ); Checked on PostgreSQL versions (Windows XP): 8.0.6 8.1.0 8.2.0 -- With best wishes, Pavel mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
