Got no reply on "questions". Someone here may want to
know this...
I think I may have uncovered an error in the parser. The
following is the simplest example that shows the problem.
Maybe a counter needs to be reset by 'union' or checked
after select not statement. I would like to use this syntax
in my libpq program. Is this a bug? Is it already known?
Would someone please e-mail me the syntax for the
"explicit cast" the system wants
I am using 6.3.2 on an Ultra SPARC. The error occurs on
a Linux RH50 Intel system too.
I think the following should work but does not:
testdb=> select 'a' as X
testdb-> union
testdb-> select 'b' as X;
NOTICE: there is more than one operator < for types
NOTICE: unknown and unknown. You will have to retype this query
ERROR: using an explicit cast
Notice that this does work
testdb=> select 'b' as X;
x
-
b
(1 row)
And this works too:
testdb=> select 1 as X
testdb-> union
testdb-> select 2 as X;
x
-
1
2
(2 rows)
