Problem is that 24 is not an int2 -- it's an int4 (generic int type).
For example:
joel(at)joel=# create function hi(int2) returns bool as 'begin return true;
end;' language 'plpgsql';
CREATE FUNCTION
joel(at)joel=# select hi(42);
ERROR: Function hi(integer) does not exist
Unable to identify a function that satisfies the given argument types
You may need to add explicit typecasts
select hi(42::int2);
works just fine.
Either add a function that takes int4,tedt,text input, or explicitly
cast your int4 to int2, as show above.
