Re: Proglems with 7.2.1 - Mailing list pgsql-novice

James, I'm a novice myself, so please excuse my ignorance.

What is the type o your 'employeeid' column?  I would guess that its
probably numeric, but you seem to be trying to insert a char value ('X')
into it.

Still, this should not terminate your server.

What platform are your running on?

Is this insert done via psql or pgadmin?

Is postmaster actually dead after you get the error below?
