Thread: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""

Hi all,
I get invalid input syntax when UPDATEing my radacct table:

freedsl=# \d radacct
                                             Table "public.radacct"

  acctstopdelay        | integer                  |
Indexes:
     "radacct_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (radacctid)

The query is:


UPDATE radacct
  SET
   AcctStopTime = ('2009-09-25 10:35:44'::timestamp - '0'::interval),
   AcctSessionTime = CASE WHEN '' = '' THEN   (EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM ('2009-09-25 10:35:44'::TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE -
AcctStartTime::TIMESTAMPWITH TIME ZONE   - '0'::INTERVAL)))::BIGINT ELSE '' END, 
   AcctInputOctets = (('0'::bigint << 32) + '0'::bigint),
   AcctOutputOctets = (('0'::bigint << 32) + '0'::bigint),
   AcctTerminateCause = '',
   AcctStopDelay = 0,
   FramedIPAddress = NULLIF('', '')::inet,
   ConnectInfo_stop = ''
  WHERE AcctSessionId = ''
   AND UserName = 'mihamina'
   AND NASIPAddress = '0.0.0.0'
   AND AcctStopTime IS NULL




I cannot find the problem....
Any hints?
Thank you.

(I put it in the email subject, not very clever from me)

It's the ELSE '' here:

>    AcctSessionTime = CASE WHEN '' = '' THEN   (EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM ('2009-09-25 10:35:44'::TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE -
AcctStartTime::TIMESTAMPWITH TIME ZONE   - '0'::INTERVAL)))::BIGINT ELSE '' END, 

FWIW, 8.4 will give you a syntax error pointer in cases like this.
