Hi,
The following rather contrived example illustrates that lag(), lead()
(and probably other functions) can't automatically cast an integer to
a bigint:
select lag(sum,1,0) over () from (select sum(generate_series) over
(order by generate_series) from generate_series(1,10)) x;
ERROR: function lag(bigint, integer, integer) does not exist
LINE 1: select lag(sum,1,0) over () from (select sum(generate_series... ^
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You
might need to add explicit type casts.
I guess this is because the lag() and lead() functions take any type,
and hence the default must be of the same type.
This had me stumped for a few while until I realised that the types
were different.
Would there be any way to implement an automatic conversion?
On the off-chance that this is actually a bug, this is on 9.6.3, but
it also occurs on 9.3.17
Thanks,
Colin
