  •  Hi,

     

    Remove the precision from your integer columns. you don`t need ot declare this.

     

    hope this will fix your issue.

     

     

    Tip:

    -when you get a crazy error like this, running it in a DbViz or any other gui will not point to the location of the error, he will treat it as a block.

    - to fix this run the sql at the vsql cmd line, this way you will get the exact column/sql that is failing :) 

  • Thanks a lot, it helped.
