Hi everybody,

We are having serious problems operating with strings. Comparisons involving
this type don't work properly. Any idea?

  
  * retrieve (EMP.all) where EMP.name="Sam"
  
  \g
  
  Query sent to backend is "retrieve (EMP.all) where EMP.name="Sam"  "
  WARN:Feb 10 23:25:44:OperatorDef: no operator =
   
Defining Postquel functions don't work either for us. We are following
the syntax indicated in the user's manual (page 9). Actually it's the
example used there.

  
  * define function pay 
  (language = "postquel", returntype=EMP)
  as 
  retrieve (EMP.all) where EMP.salary 1300.0
  \g
  
  Query sent to backend is "define function pay  (language = "postquel", returntype = EMP) as  retrieve (EMP.all) where EMP.salary 1300.0 "
  WARN:Feb 10 23:27:41:no zero argument postquel functions


Any pointers to what the problem is?

Thanks in advance.
