"window" is a reserved word:

   http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/sql-keywords-appendix.html

Just call your column something else and it should work. Alternatively,
you could enclose the column name in double-quotes -

   "window" character varying(64)....

- but then you'll have to remember to quote it *every* time it is
referenced in queries or elsewhere.
