parse error at or near "(" -- Huh???

Hi,

I'm getting a frustrating error
 ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "(" at character 201

in a CREATE TABLE statement from an SQL script that I'm running from
within a Perl script. When I run the same script from the command
line, either as a regular user or as root, it works fine.

The SQL is
---------------------------------------------------------
CREATE SEQUENCE "users_id"START 1 INCREMENT 1 MAXVALUE 2147483647 MINVALUE 1 CACHE 1;

CREATE TABLE "users" ("u_id" integer DEFAULT nextval('users_id'::text) NOT NULL,"u_name" text NOT NULL,"u_password"
textNOT NULL,"u_console_flag" integer DEFAULT 0,Constraint "users_pkey" Primary Key ("u_id")
 
);
---------------------------------------------------------

The 'console_flag' field was recently added and is close-ish to the
point that I think the parser is failing. And speaking of that, how I
am to interpret 'character 201' -- should I collapse the SQL into it's
minimal state (least number spaces) and go from that?

Thanks.

Alex

ps Tried to join the list using

but got a server timeout. :(
