Hi I have the following rather complicated SQL which works under MySQL but fails under PostgreSQL 8.3. The SQL is generated by A2Billing (http://www.asterisk2billing.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi). The issue is the following part of the SQL: as tf on tf.dnid=substr(cdr.dnid,1,length(tf.dnid)) where tf.dnid is a bigint and cdr.dnid is varchar(40). The error returned is ERROR: function length(bigint) does not exist at character 2521 2010-10-29 13:34:27 NZDT HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts. I have tried adding explicit casts: tf.dnid = substr(cdr.dnid, 1, length(cast(td.dnid) as varchar(40))) which complains with ERROR: operator does not exist: bigint = text at character 2502 and tf.dnid = cast(substr(cdr.dnid, 1, length(cast(td.dnid) as varchar(40))) as bigint) which complains with ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "dnid" What would be the best way to convert this to work under PostgreSQL? The complete log entry is given below: Thanks 2010-10-29 13:34:27 NZDT ERROR: function length(bigint) does not exist at character 2521 2010-10-29 13:34:27 NZDT HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types.
