I confirmed that 7.x created a varchar before I posted the question to the list. If you doubt my statment I will provide screen shots. I am still inexperienced with postgresql and am not sure what commands such as cast can do/are doing which is why I posted the question to get help. The view was written by another person. I did not know the concatenation result could be cast or I would not have asked the question.
