Any help would be greatly appreciated. > 2009-04-02 10:45:10 EDT:srm2api:ERROR: column "event_ref_log_no" is of type integer but expression is of type text at character 146 I don't know ecpg very well, but if it doesn't provide any information about parameter datatypes then the backend would resolve this: case when $7 > 0 then $8 else null end as producing a result of type "text". 7.4 would have allowed that to be cast to int silently, but 8.3 won't (and the runtime cast involved would've been expensive anyway). I suggest sticking a cast directly on the ambiguous parameter, ie > case when :h_event_ref_log_no > 0 > then :h_event_ref_log_no :: integer > else null end, (You needn't cast the null, since the type attached to the other case arm is a sufficient cue.) 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
