Thread: Invalid Input syntax for type bigint

hello everyone,

I am trying to run the proc below but get an error : invalid input
syntax for type bigint: "2004-10-26" Can anyone suggest what I am
doing wrong here?

Rx

-- Function: public.getdateallocated(date, date)

DROP FUNCTION public.getdateallocated(date, date);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.getdateallocated(date, date) RETURNS text AS
'Declare

workflow_t  ix_workflow_task%ROWTYPE;

Apparently you're trying to use a date where a bigint is expected.
One possibility might be here:

> ix_workflow_task."WORKFLOW_ACTIVITY_XPDL_ID", ix_workflow_task."TYPE"
>         INTO workflow_t from ix_workflow_task

You declared workflow_t to be ix_workflow_task%ROWTYPE but you're
only selecting certain fields into it.  Is the first field in
ix_workflow_task perchance a bigint?
