q query about a bug.

Dear

We have a developer doing an application for us using a Postgre Db. One
of the items is to export the data into a xml file and then either email
or whatever but the ability is there then to import the xml data back
into the database. So what happens is that the contents of certain
tables are exported into this xml file, and this is all the columns data
related to that table. We have checked the XML file and we can verify
that all the columns of each table have been exported.

The problem comes in now when the import takes place all the columns
data does not appear to be imported and when we asked the developer
about this his reply was

There is a known bug in PostGre regarding the number of columns that can
be imported.....

Is this a fact and where can I find more information on this?

Please would you comment on this ?

Many thanks

Regards
