Hi,
I've noticed that the character number "Ch" in the status bar of the
query window has been changed to col -1 since version 1.6.2
Why is that? I liked the feature of the character position, and i
don't see the point in substracting 1 from a number i can see next to
it instead.
In some situations (don't know exactly which) postgresql will give
error messages with character numbers instead of line numbers.

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

Yup, thats a bug that's crept in somehow. Fixed in SVN, thanks.
