Odd error...

SELECT was: SELECT definition as viewdef, (select oid from pg_rewrite
where rulename='_RET' || viewname) as view_oid from pg_views where
viewname = 'ec_subsubcategories_augmented';

Any ideas what would cause this?

Probably the length of the view name; which version are you running? I
haven't look at PG for a while, but I thought this was fixed in 7.1.2

(pretty sure that's 7.1.0, btw)

openacs=# SELECT definition as viewdef, (select oid from pg_rewrite where rulename='_RET' || viewname) as view_oid from pg_views where viewname = 'ec_subsubcategories_augmented';
viewdef | view_oid

As you can see, it gets the "viewdef" part fine, but not the "select oid
from pg_rewrite where ... " part.

IIRC, that was a post-7.1 bug fix. Update to 7.1.2, or shorten your
view name by a few characters.
