I'm not sure if this is still needed in postgres to define the length of a variable/table name. In postgres_ext.h, I changed: #define NAMEDATALEN 32 to #define NAMEDATALEN 51 Everything compiled and installed. However, the initdb started up but then just said that it failed. I did a gmake clean and changed the 51 back to 32 and everything went through correctly (make, install, and initdb). Can anyone else verify if this is correct or even makes sense? Thanks. -Tony ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
