Description:        Partial search not working
Details:

Dear All,

Partial search query is not working Linux OS with postgresql 8.2.4 but the
same is working fine in windows and solaris OS.

I like to know whether i need to run some patch in linux OS to make the
partial search to work.

SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE colname BETWEEN 'B-' AND 'B~' ORDER BY
colname
