Hi, I've noticed that if I try to use generate_series to include the upper boundary of int4, it never returns:
SELECT x FROM generate_series(2147483643::int4, 2147483647::int4) AS a(x); But the same query with int8 returns instantly: SELECT x FROM generate_series(2147483643::int8, 2147483647::int8) AS a(x); However, the int8 version of generate_series has the same problem. This never returns: SELECT x FROM generate_series(9223372036854775803::int8, 9223372036854775807::int8) AS a(x); Another issue happens when using the lower boundaries: postgres=# SELECT x FROM generate_series(-2147483648::int4, -2147483644::int4) AS a(x); ERROR: integer out of range postgres=# SELECT x FROM generate_series(-9223372036854775808::int8, -9223372036854775804::int8) AS a(x); ERROR: bigint out of range I've recreated this on 9.0.1 and 9.1devel on a 64-bit platform.
