In other words: Please provide details, including at least the exact text of the error message you get when you run the query on 9.1 beta 2. I suspect from earlier discussion off-list (while we were trying to get any kind of info on the crash) that he's getting the error: "Error: JOIN qualification cannot refer to other relations." when executing that query, and did not get that error in earlier versions of PostgreSQL. Bangar Raju: If at all possible, please put together a small self-contained .SQL file that: - Defines a table - Defines a view of that table - Runs a query against that view that works on 8.4 and 9.0 but fails on 9.1 beta 2. As your post stands, it's very incomplete and hard to answer because the view is complex and refers to lots of tables you haven't provided definitions for. If you just post all your table definitions it'll probably be too complex for anyone to be willing to investigate - for free in their spare time, anyway. You will get the best help if you write a better question and try to cut things out of your test view and query until it is as simple and self-contained as possible. When I suggested that you ask about this on-list, I didn't expect you to re-post your question to me word-for-word. Remember, those on the list don't have the context of our prior conversation, and even with that (which would only tell the the missing error message) they wouldn't know enough to be able to help you. Whenver asking for help on any mailing list, try to read your post before clicking "send" as if you were someone who didn't know anything about your tables, business, app, environment, etc and only knew what you actually wrote in the email. See if it would make sense to them. Imagine you were trying to answer the question, as if it came from somebody else in another situation you knew nothing about. You will quickly notice pieces of information that you left out, like your operating system, exact database version, table definitions, error messages, etc etc etc. (All this is, of course, in the guide to reporting problems that I linked to before). -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
