parser error: 9223372036854775807

Try checking 'long long' to see if they are the same sizes. I bet they
aren't. I assume this is i386 Linux.

I go from Linux to Cygwin, no probs, everything works fine, creates a new
database beautifully.

However, if I take the exact same DB (which contains data) and try the
following on Linux:

%> psql -d cmsdb -f cmsdb.sql

I get the following:

psql:cmsdb.sql:12: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near
"9223372036854775807"
psql:cmsdb.sql:27: NOTICE: CREATE TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit
index 'ratingcontentandtype_pkey' for table 'rating'

Any table with a serial decleration has this problem, and the serial
tables don't get built. I wondered if this was due to a MAXINT issue on
Linux, so I wrote a small C program wher I found out that the MAXINT and
LONG are both: 2147483647 -- The catch is that the same is true on my Win
box.

What's going on here, and what can I do to get around this problem?

We're on Postgres 7.1.

Thx,
Aurangzeb

Apparently the Cygwin database is 7.2, which was the first release that
supported int8 sequences. Either update your Linux PG installation, or
be prepared to do some hand editing of the dump file.
