Hi,
I'm trying to convert some tables from version 6.2 to 6.4.2 but I have
problems with arrays. The old table definition was:
create table a (x int4,y char8,z char8[] );
Now, because the char8 datatype has been removed from postgres, I suppose
I should use char(8) or varchar(8):
create table a (x int4,y char(8),z char(8)[] );
or
create table a (x int4,y varchar(8),z varchar(8)[] );
but when I try the above definitions I get the following errors:
dz=> create table a (
dz-> x int4,
dz-> y char(8),
dz-> z char(8)[]
dz-> );
ERROR: type name lookup of _bpchar failed
dz=> create table a (
dz-> x int4,
dz-> y varchar(8),
dz-> z varchar(8)[]
dz-> );
ERROR: type name lookup of _varchar failed
Also trying to define the _varchar or _bpchar types fails, so it seems that
the conversion from 6.2 to 6.4 is not possible for many data types.
Any suggestion?
