Yeah, we removed the int->varchar cast because it was redundant with
int->text, and caused operator resolution failures in some cases.

Re-enter the view, then.  The || expression will come out as text
instead of varchar; if you really want the view column to look like
it's a varchar you can do

     ('sync:///Note/SyncNotes/' || nt_note_name || '/'
      || nl_note_id)::varchar AS note_url
