Yes, that is what I mean: every column in the affected rows had been
changed to null;
The description is:
Table "request"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-------------+----------+----------------------------------------
id | integer | default nextval('reqid'::text)
agency_id | integer |
opportunity | text |
start_date | date |
end_date | date |
focus | text |
slots | smallint |
filled | smallint |
referred | smallint |
date_recd | date | default date("timestamp"('now'::text))
task | text |
uflg | boolean | default 'f'
Indices: redtx,
reqkey,
rfocx,
rmemx,
rsdtx,
tskx
