Yes, there is some incompatibility between 7.4.2 and 7.4.5 with INT type
comparisons, not allowing (7.4.5) something like "WHERE int_field = ''",
so the same transaction failed before the error reported with this one:

Warning: pg_exec() query failed: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""

I was approximating. The transaction is exactly the same, I just click
on "UPDATE" button on the web browser and sometimes it worked and
sometimes not.

Thanks a lot.
