Right, that's the error you get from doing this in 6.5.x. The original

In short, don't worry about it: the developer's go to a lot of trouble

27; sorting properly. Having a 'NaN' in there
breaks sorting however. That's a current, live bug. Could be fixed
by treating 'NaN' as a different flavor of NULL. Probably a fairly deep
change, however. Hmm, NULL in a float8 sorts to the end, regardless of
ASC or DESC,
lem, but since it's non standard SQL
anyway, writing your own sequence that uses a numeric counter gives you
potentially infinite serials.

Currently, more than one tuple can be stored in a block, it's just that
any one tuple cannot be stored in more than one block: i.e. tuples cannot

Nope, DATETIME is not an SQL92 type, it's a class of types. Here's a
snip from the standard:

So the three SQL92 datetime types are DATE, TIME, and
