Hi,
does postgresql have a datatype 'other' which in hsqldb is an Object? I
am trying to convert the table below into postgreSQL 8:


  create table TIMERS (
  TIMERID varchar(50) not null,
  TARGETID varchar(50) not null,
  INITIALDATE timestamp not null,
  INTERVAL bigint,
  INSTANCEPK other,
  INFO other,
  constraint timers_pk primary key (TIMERID)


regards


Andrew

For INFO use either TEXT or BYTEA depending on what you want to
store. Regarding INSTANCEPK you should think again whether
OTHER is an appropriate datatype in the first place.

Are you asking for a column of type  'unknown'? I
don't understand what this column would be able to do.
