Thread: Query problem

Query problem

From

Hello,

I have two DBs from the same user. When I run a query: SELECT wer_sys||'.'||wer_int||'.'||wer_wew FROM ver WHERE code = '1243' on a boken DB I get an error:  ERROR:  array value must start with "{" or dimension information but when I try to run the query on a "healthy" DB I don't have the error. Can anyone please guide me where to look for the problem. Already tried restoring the table I run the query on from the non-broken DB but t didn't work. While updating the database with our client program I get psql error: out of memory. The pg version is 8.2 (yes it's old but we are migrating to 9.0).

The column is defined as holding an array on one database and a
scalar value on the other?  Hard to tell without seeing the table
definitions.

Meaning what?

How do you get a psql error if you're in a client program?  Exactly
what error do you get?  Is there anything in the logs?

8.2.what?
