I think I did, in the monitory, and it worked fine.

An upgrade to 7.3 has, in fact, gotten rid of that bug...

Though now I'm forced to use localhost for connecting, since:
A) Upon boot, I'm told I can't use password or crypt, but
B) When trying to connect, I can't use md5
C) the passwords get turned into md5 whether I like it or not
What's up with all that?

I also don't understand why the incredibly useful function I had to
auto-typecast from bool to int won't work using ::int syntax, but will if
I use int4(...) syntax. Grrr.

And breaking the LIMIT x, y thing was annoying.

Oh well. I can move forward with some changes in the way we do things.

Now that the query runs, I can start in on the optimization again :-)

THANKS ALL!!!

Oh, and the lower(field) LIKE is MySQL compatible, but I don't think MySQL
has an ILIKE... We're abandoning the MySQL support now anyway, since we
NEED performance way more than we need MySQL compatibility.

Thanks again!
