I have a DB with is updated using MS Access. Primary keys are Int4 with default random values ("NuméroAuto" + "Aléatoire" in Access).
The DB is migrated as-is in Postgres, with tbl_prod.cle_prod field containing values from -2057496808 to 2139583719.
When I SELECT in the table, using the INT4 cle_prod value, PG doesn't find the tuple. When I SELECT using the VARCHAR(10) ref_prod value, PG finds the tuple, and show the right value for the cle_prod filed : the same as the one I SELECTed for...

This sounds like the long negative integer values given in PSQL is not converted correctly while executing.
Using a long positive integer value, all works like a charm...

Below is the queries type sto sho what append.
I'm using Postgres 6.5.2 from the RPMs.
