Here's the first definition of the <@ operator in my dump:
--
-- Name: <@; Type: OPERATOR; Schema: public; Owner: postgres
--
CREATE OPERATOR <@ (
PROCEDURE = ltree_risparent,
LEFTARG = ltree,
RIGHTARG = ltree,
COMMUTATOR = @>,
RESTRICT = ltreeparentsel,
JOIN = contjoinsel
);
ALTER OPERATOR public.<@ (ltree, ltree) OWNER TO postgres;
Our data was created on an older PG (8.1.x) but we installed 8.2.x
from scratch, only dumping the schema and the data in it. I used ltree
found in the 8.2.4 source.
Do you think an update of ltree, or better of the database will fix
the problem ?
We plan on upgrading to the 8.3 branch in the next weeks, but this
behavior can't wait this much as our servers are overburned from time
to time =(
Thanks for your help ;)
