Right, in 7.2 the rowtype for such a table would conflict with the predefined type. > I've been able to create this table under 7.4.1, 7.4, and 7.3.4 (but > have no other versions under which I can test). In 7.3 and later there is no conflict, because the predefined type name lives in the pg_catalog schema, which is not where user tables are customarily created. regards, tom lane
