Hi Cédric,

'datlastsysoid' is a column in the pg_database system table. Unfortunately
it's only present in PostgreSQL 7.1 or higher. Unfortunately I can't really
devote the time to making the new code backward compatible with old versions
of PostgreSQL, so my best suggestion would be to upgrade to PostgreSQL 7.1.
To quote Tom Lane (one of the core PostgreSQL developers) from a message I
read this morning:

'It's *way* past time to update.  7.1.3 is current PG release, and the list
of bugs fixed since 6.5.* would fill a book.'

Regards, Dave.
