Use this PL/pgSQL script to create text(float), varchar(float), char(float):
create function "varchar"(float) returns varchar as
'beginreturn $1;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';
create function bpchar(float) returns bpchar as
'beginreturn $1;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';
create function text(float) returns text as
'beginreturn $1;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';
create function float_text(float) returns text as
' select text($1);
' language 'sql';
