info schema : cardinal number domain
When creating a table with a bit type
of length less than 4, then any selection
to the information.schema.columns table
that hits that row gives the following error:
drop table infoschema_bit;
create table infoschema_bit (
bitcol bit(3)
);
select * from columns;
-- ERROR: value for domain cardinal_number violates check constraint "cardinal_number_domain_check"
There may be other places where this hits.
I ran into it creating an "alltypes" table for
an example and just grabbed the bit(3) from the
documentation on the bit type.
This is relatively low priority as I suspect
few people use both the information schema AND
small bit types right now.

This is fixed as of 7.4.1, along with several other information_schema
bugs. If you have a database that was initdb'd under 7.4, you can load
the corrected views without re-initdb'ing: as superuser, DROP the
information_schema and execute the updated information_schema.sql file
(look in $INSTALLDIR/share).

oops. I need to update to 7.4.1.
Thank you.
