What's the exact error message? That often provides a clue as to what's wrong. I'll guess that the Windows box is running 8.1.x and the error is: ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "pg_class" > I know that if I change the query this it will work but is it > possible to make this quey work in this way Why don't you want to rewrite the query? > SELECT atthasdef > FROM pg_attribute > WHERE attrelid=pg_class.oid AND pg_class.relname='client_overtime' AND attname='id_client_overtime' > > This query works fine in PostgreSQL (Linux-Unix platform) Another guess: the Linux box is running a version of PostgreSQL older than 8.1, or if it's running 8.1 then you've enabled add_missing_from. As the 8.1 Release Notes mention, that option is now disabled by default. Rather than trying to make the query work as-is, rewrite it to be proper SQL by adding pg_class to the FROM clause. -- Michael Fuhr
