first execute answer: "<v>Hello</v>"
log file:"

LOG:  команда: SELECT format_type(oid,-1) as typname FROM pg_type
WHERE oid = 142
LOG:  команда: SELECT CASE WHEN typbasetype=0 THEN oid else
typbasetype END AS basetype
      FROM pg_type WHERE oid=142
"

second execute answer: "********** Error **********"

database and repeat your command.
