Hi all - I've spotted the cast-related "regressions" being discussed here http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-11/msg00505.php ... as a Moodle developer supporting Pg, the stricter cast rules in pg 8.3 are somewhat worrying. Is there a straightforward way to configure a given DB or a client connection to emulate Pg v8.2.x casting rules? I say they are worrying because Moodle code has many ocurrences of /* bla.id is an INT8 */ SELECT x,y,z FROM bla WHERE id='1'; And we also often quote INT values for inserts/updates, I am not sure if this is supported either. This is quite widespread in the codebase -- for histerical raisins that will be familiar to anyone involved in LAMP projects -- and unlikely to change quickly. For the record, I generally agree that the stricter rules are good... as long as there's fallback to the old lazy-fuzzy-ambiguous mode to help large projects make the transition ;-) cheers, martin PS: I'm not actually in the list - CCs welcome... ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
