Thread: String concat issues in 8.3.1 (8.3.1 bug?)
I have a table as follows:
\d test_dim
Table "public.test_dim"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+-----------------------------+------------------------
customer_srcid | bigint | not null
segment_srcid | bigint | not null
show_name | character varying(500) | not null
create_dt | timestamp without time zone | not null default now()
I have this table in a db on an 8.2.6 cluster and in another db on an
8.3.1 cluster.
In both clusters I can do the following:
# select customer_srcid, segment_srcid from test_dim;
customer_srcid | segment_srcid
----------------+---------------
1 | 1
1 | 2
1 | 3
1 |
1 |

1 | 1
1 | 2

1 | 3

1 | 1
1 | 2
1 | 3

(24 rows)
In version 8.2.6 I can do this:
# select customer_srcid || segment_srcid from test_dim;
?column?
----------

12
13

(24 rows)
However in the 8.3.1 cluster I get this (Both clusters have the same
data set - via a pg_dump):
# select customer_srcid || segment_srcid from test_dim;
ERROR: operator does not exist: bigint || bigint
LINE 1: select customer_srcid || segment_srcid from sl_segment_dim;
^
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You
might need to add explicit type casts.
Thoughts ?
Thanks in advance

You > might need to add explicit type casts. Some of the implicit typecasting has been tightened up in 8.3 - try casting to text first.
