Re: length(columnname), solved

I am a novice so maybe this is not the right response, but couldn't you
have also quoted your table name?  Recompiling the source code seems
like a dangerous way to go - i.e. what happens when the database is
moved to a different system?  What if you don't have permission to
rebuild Postgres?

create table
"ThisIsAReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReal
lyReallyLongTableName" (test int);


I also noticed that you are using capitals in your name and I know you
would have to quote for that reason (at least in the version of Postgres
that I'm using)
