I can put it into table without problem, but when I executed "select * from tablename" at the PSQL prompt, miserably PSQL went segmentation fault. :-( My question is, isn't the length of `text' type theoretically unlimited? How come PSQL crashes? (Is this a PSQL problem? If so, what's its limitation then?) Thanks a lot, Frankie System Env: Red Hat 7.2 PostgreSQL 7.3 128 MB ram
