How to figure out whether the installed postgres version is 32 bit or
64bit ? We installed postgres801 from src on susu box with EMT64 bit
hardware. I assume since the hardware was 64 bit, postgres should have
compiled in 64 bit too, but then we ran into this error

FATAL: database files are incompatible with server
DETAIL: The database cluster was initialized without
HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP but the server was compiled with
HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP.
HINT: It looks like you need to recompile or initdb.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Stalin

Stalin,

Probably the easiest way to figure out if the server is 64-bit is to
run 'file postmaster' binary. However, the problem you are running into
is because postgresql was configured/compiled with

--enable-integer-datetimes enable 64-bit integer date/time support

Recompile without this flag.

That has nothing to do with 64/32 bit; you changed the
--enable-integer-datetimes config option.
