You need to increase your max backends. The default for 6.4.2 was 64. I believe it is a configure option (or it's in config.h). You might also need to increase your semaphore limits (that's a kernel option). > -Original Message- > From: Yin-So Chen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunda

Hmm, char16 is not a currently recognized type - what version of postgresql are you using? In 6.5, upper(foo) works for all the char and text types of foo I can find. Ross On Tue, Aug 10, 1999 at 02:30:54PM +0300, Safa Pilavcý wrote: > Please help > > > - Original Message - > From

Anybody that knows anything about Dome ( http://www.htc.honeywell.com/dome/ ) ? It seems to be a quite extensive CASE tool. Can I use it to build a Database layout and let it generate sql statements to create the database??

I'm doing a db layout in Logic Works' Erwin. It can generate SQL statements to create the database. Of course it doesn't include support for PostgreSQL (yet) but I wondered which syntax was closest of the supported ones. These are supported: DB2 SQL Server Rdb Oracle SQLBase Watcom/SQL Anywhere I
