But the parameter is evidently being assigned type text, which wins the type conflict so then you have "t1::text text-eq text-constant", and that operator doesn't match the index. Probably, casting the parameter to char(n) explicitly would fix this. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
