I just noticed that you cannot concat a fixed char column and a varchar
column in 7.1.3. Has this been fixed in 7.2? (I can't check it here...)
test=# \d ADOXYZ Table "adoxyz"Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+-------------------+----------id | integer |firstname | character(24) |lastname |
charactervarying |created | date |
test=# select firstname || lastname from ADOXYZ;
ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '||' for types 'bpchar' and 'varchar' You will have to retype this query
usingan explicit cast
