The back end crashes when the size of i/p string for
a defined ADT is approx > 100   ..

i.e APPEND ntable (a="some_string_>_100_char_long"::ADT) \g

causes some problems causing backend to "not respond" ..

_______


I believe the input string (char*) in postgres is posssibly
m(p)alloced  to = 100 (or some thing like that ) ..

Where (& what ) do I have to hack to get over this problem ..??


thanks for help!
Bruce
