PostgreSQL version: 8.4
Operating system: Windows XP
Description: Compatibility modes
Details:
Hi,
We are planning to upgrade from Postgresql 8.2 to 8.4, and we have hit the
following error when running our application against it.
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: operator does not exist: character
varying = integer
We have noticed many people have reported this issue and that this was an
intentional change on your side.
We would like to know if there is a workaround built into postgres by
setting some kind of COMPATIBILITY variable (similar to SQL SERVER 2005 /
2008)...
This would be helpful in getting our system deployed using the new database,
otherwise we would have to push back our release to a later date.
