No bug. The REAL keyword is treated as an alias for pg_catalog.float4, but even if it weren't an alias, it would exist in schema pg_catalog. Thus there is not a name conflict with your domain, which (I suppose) was created in the "public" schema. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
