Hi,

My old DB schema which worked up thru Postgresql ver 6.4.2 has been broken in
ver 6.5.1 (running on an SGI).

CREATE TABLE Seq (
.....
Offset int not null,
....
);

now fails with a parse error at 'offset'. I don't see this word listed in the
reserved words page. When I change the word to SeqOffset, the schema works fine.

Yes, now OFFSET is reserved:

SELECT * FROM tab LIMIT 100 OFFSET 3
