Re: DBD::Pg problem

The thing is...I am not. I am inserting it into a varchar field.

$sql="insert into it_contact (email, to_email, subject,
details,modify,parent) values(?,?,?,'$body',now(),'$parent')";
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
        $sth->bind_param(1, $from, {pg_type => DBD::Pg::PG_TEXT});
        $sth->bind_param(2, $to, {pg_type => DBD::Pg::PG_TEXT});
        $sth->bind_param(3, $subject, {pg_type => DBD::Pg::PG_TEXT});
        $sth->execute;

\d it_contact;
                                           Table "public.it_contact"
   Column   |            Type             |

pg_atoi is the string to int converter. You're trying to insert it into
an integer field.
