Turns out it is the "user with no password" bug, which was throught to affect 
only Solaris 7 or 8.   However, it turns out that they are using a 
pre-release of Solaris 9, so they have the same issue.   They've been told to 
upgrage to 7.3.6.

[BUGS] [7.4.2] Still "variable not found in subplan target lists"

2004-04-15 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello all..

I have a 7.4.2 pg server and the situation is the following:

Table detorders with 69 columns, one of which is called docomment. There is a view 
based on this table called qrydorders and there are other 5 views which include 
qrydorders in there definitions. Today after changing (with pgadmin III) the datatype 
of qrydorders.docomment from varchar(255) to varchar(2500) i got the error "variable 
not found in subplan target lists" when a SELECT * from qrydorders WHERE did=101015 . 
Everything got back working after i dropped qrydorders and all of the views in cascade 
and then recreated them.

I saw this was a problem in the 7.4.1. Before installing 7.4.2 and recreating the 
database i dropped the old DB, removed the directory which contained the PG files, 
created a new one and recreated everything with initdb so i do not think its a mistake 
that i made when i installed the new PG.

Regards,

Fabrizio Mazzoni

This is an unsupported operation.  You should perhaps complain to the
pgadmin guys that they are not correctly updating the system catalogs.
