-- As of 8.3 we have removed most implicit casts to text, so that for example
-- this no longer works:
select length(42);
ERROR:  function length(integer) does not exist
LINE 1: select length(42);
               ^
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.
-- But as a special exception for usability's sake, we still allow implicit
-- casting to text in concatenations, so long as the other input is text or
-- an unknown literal.  So these work:
select 'four: '::text || 2+2;
 ?column? 
----------
 four: 4
(1 row)

select 'four: ' || 2+2;
 ?column? 
----------
 four: 4
(1 row)

-- but not this:
select 3 || 4.0;
ERROR:  operator does not exist: integer || numeric
LINE 1: select 3 || 4.0;
                 ^
HINT:  No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.
