Version postgres 7.4.7:
Following sql
UPDATE tablename SET value = 0.0 where value!=-9.4;
results in the error message
ERROR: operator does not exist: smallint !=- integer
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You
may need to add explicit type casts.
Seems that postgres has a problem parsing a "not equal negative value".
Anybody know if this is fixed in later versions?

Just tested on 8.1.1 I was getting the same error but if i put a space
between the "=" and the "-" it works!
