I should have explained what is going on here.
If you do:
production=# \df string_agg
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Type
------------+------------+------------------+---------------------+------
pg_catalog | string_agg | bytea | bytea, bytea | agg
pg_catalog | string_agg | text | text, text | agg
(2 rows)
you see that there are two variations of string_agg, one that accepts
text, text and the other that accepts bytea, bytea as input. When you
ran your function it was passing in a single character varying input to
string_agg. This is not a supported string_agg variation, so Postgres
reports it does not exist in that form. See the HINT below.
