Re: Error in creating the backend query

I believe you may be right - need to do some more testing.
Apparently the error which I saw in the log was generated while
debugging the stored procedure using SQL Studio for PostgreSQL. I guess
it has its own interpreter for plpgsql and must be typecasting while
executing each row.

We can consider this closed unless I see it occur again.
Sorry for the false alarm.
