Hm, Alan commited my fix for this very problem to the HEAD CVS already. I 
assume you backported it to 1.1.x? Or did you re-do it? In any case, my fixes 
to the queries and schema are tested, running in our production environment 
for quite a while.

BTW, that link from the OP on the netexperise.eu web site 
(http://www.netexpertise.eu/en/FreeRadius/DailyAcct.html) should really be 
amended with the proper instructions to put gigawords into older versions of 
FreeRADIUS (adding these extra columns to hold the gigawords and even more 
going to the lengths of introducing stored procedures is _really_ hacky). A 
set of instructions is in the FreeRADIUS Wiki already:
