Just wanted to say thanks again for the help to those that responded. For anyone curious, this helped me get a more advanced constraint exclusion feature finished for the partition manager I've been working on

David,

That seems to have fixed it! I was going down a path of grabbing the column's type from pg_attribute and trying to work from there, but was still having some of the same issues.

Thanks everyone else that replied as well!

Right idea if the loss of original type in the min/max query is acceptable
(which it should be).  But the cast wants to be of the min/max RESULT not
the min/max INPUT.

SELECT min(' || v_col || ')::text AS min_text, max(' || v_col || ')::text AS
max_text FROM ...

Min/Max logic wants to be done by the rules for the original type, not
according to string collation rules.
