Alfresco owners who use PostgreSQL must be aware that some errors can occur due to maldefined SqlMaps.
NOTE: In most cases, a previous version of PostgreSQL will exhibit strange behavior in the sense that it is accepting the maldefined SqlMaps. That does not mean the problem is not there.
ADVISE: do use a PostgreSQL version higher than 8.3 and use patches for the maldefined SqlMaps. That also prevents future surprises.
A patch in the postgresql-3.2r.amp is not yet present, to my best knowledge.
In this thread, I am just giving some problems I encountered and their solutions.
