No, I think the command is perfectly reasonable; the problem is the
backend parser isn't prepared for a qualified typename in CREATE CAST.
This is a bug that's fixed in CVS:
2003-02-05 15:16 tgl
* src/backend/parser/gram.y (REL7_3_STABLE): Allow qualified type
names in CREATE CAST, DROP CAST. Also allow the construction
'SETOF type[]' which for some reason was previously overlooked
(you'd have to name the array type directly to make it work).
It'll be in 7.3.3. In the meantime you could possibly grab the updated
gram.y from the CVS server, or just not restore the CAST from the dump.
