Bruce Momjian 147aa84c1a http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2002-06/msg00086.php and never
saw a fix offered up.  Since I'm gearing up to use Postgres and Python
soon, I figured I'd have a hand at trying to get this sucker addressed.
Apologies if this has already been plugged.  I looked in the archives
and never saw a response.

At any rate, I must admit I don't think I fully understand the
implications of some of the changes I made even though they appear to be
straight forward.  We all know the devil is in the details.  Anyone more
knowledgeable is requested to review my changes. :(

I also updated the advanced.py script in a somewhat nonsensical fashion
to make use of an int8 field in an effort to test this change.  It seems
to run okay, however, this is by no means an all exhaustive test.  So,
it's possible that a bumpy road may lay ahead for some.  On the other
hand...overflows (hopefully) previously lurked (long -> int conversion).

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains several language
bindings, including C, C++, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as drivers
for JDBC and ODBC.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
