However when I copy and paste directly from your email it does indeed fail watch: serial_test=# CREATE TABLE test serial_test-# ( serial_test(# idInt8, serial_test(# phenotype Varchar(510), serial_test(# genotype Varchar(510) serial_test(# ); ERROR: syntax error at or near "Varchar" LINE 4: phenotype Varchar(510), ^ That is a direct copy and paste from your email. Notice that there is no space between id and Int8. Once I manually put the space in, it worked as expected. Sincerely, Joshua D.
