Hi, I'm in a project where there is one development server with 32bits architecture and all the others are 64 bits.
The server where I generate the base models (in sense of version) is a 64 bit. Dump and restore from this machine to all others 64bits development servers works well. When I try to restore it in the 32 bits server, it returns the following errors: [pg9@server ~]$ createdb isbn -T template0 [pg9@server ~]$ pg_restore -d isbn /tmp/isbn.backup *ERROR: internal size 8 is invalid for passed-by-value type* STATEMENT: CREATE TYPE ean13 ( INTERNALLENGTH = 8, INPUT = ean13_in, OUTPUT = public.ean13_out, ALIGNMENT = double, STORAGE = plain, PASSEDBYVALUE ); pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while PROCESSING TOC: pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 550; 1247 1184851 TYPE ean13 pg9 pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: internal size 8 is invalid for passed-by-value type Command was: CREATE TYPE ean13 ( INTERNALLENGTH = 8, INPUT = ean13_in, OUTPUT = public.ean13_out, ALIGNMENT = double, ...

And many errors after these ones. I guess it's a bug in isbn code since when not using isbn/issn contrib modules the errors doesn't shows up. Naive I was trying to force Datum size to 8 and recompile postgresql for the 32 bits server. It doesn't work this way. :) Now I request some help from some PostgreSQL Olympian Gods... :) Regards, -- Daniel Cristian Cruz クルズ クリスチアン ダニエル
