Hello David, hello Thomas,

a couple of weeks ago I had a similar problem, I solved it by a little
shell-script, (sorry, no pg-sql) which registers the missing operators.
As I thought it4s going to be fixed in the next version, I didn4t post
it. But untill then, perhaps it helps ....
First you need the int8cmp-Operator (I something like a
signature-function of the difference). Than you should register this
operator.


Kind regards
