It's quite a while since I tested things with Postgres, but it worked then.
I don't recognise that error message at all, but it seems to imply that
Postgres can't find input values it needs. I don't have Postgres set up
here at the moment to test with, but I suspect that you haven't logged
the  values it is expecting to find. Try exporting the transactions table
after logging a purchase to see what is really there. 


Hmm.. Try this: in transactions.pgsql, define the field next as
'vachar(3) default 0' (or just update this field to be 0 in the table)

You can do everything on the test server that can be done on the live
server. Probably, you are trying to do an operation on a transaction
which is not allowed, eg, a 'refund' on a 'preauth'.

The orderline table is not used at all (though it should be, for doing 
refunds/returns - this creates a problem with negative amounts in the
system which is why I haven't got around to this part ..). I've never
tried to use this terminal separately to the Admin UI, as it was designed
to be part of it - though I suppose it should work more or less ...
