For a string it would be changing something like this: schemaname, to something like this: schemaname || '' AS schemaname, for a number it might be changing: pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) to: pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) + 0 Again, I would try without these first. If the problem persists I would sprinkle these throughout the query. If the problem goes away, I would probably selectively remove them until the problem returned, so I would know where it matters. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
