Re: [GENERAL] more nodeError problems and general view failures!

Erm, dunce question (sorry)

How do I apply that patch? Do I cut and paste from ? src/Makefile.custom
down into a file and then use patch?

And -more scarily- does that mean I have to recompile postgres?

That aside, thanks for your help Bruce, as soon I figure out how to apply
the patch I'll let you know if it worked!

Cheers, [indeed huge grin... I'm off to Silverstone for the British F1
Grand Prix!!]

PS. BTW, I'll never understand the C behind it but, conceptually speaking,
why does creating the view with the space in it and then select from it
yield the error but just doing the query 'select in_words,number,number *
number as "number squared" from test1;' work?
