Like I said, it's a fairly old library query I use in the nspostgres AOLserver
database driver. It hasn't been updated in ages -- in fact, it's not been
changed since PostgreSQL 6.2.1 days. Methinks I need to do some PM on the
bit-rot, no? :-)

But how to move forward, without breaking backwards compatibility... will
require some thought. I can't force the use of PostgreSQL 7.3.x; but I can
check for it at compile time. (There are multiple OpenACS installations that
use this driver with 7.1.x and 7.2.x backends.)
