Currently the default "cast" for non-number, non-bool, not-already-json, non-null values is to wrap text representation in double quotes. So casting first then fall back to _quoted_ text is wrong only for those types which have a very ugly text representation :) -- ------- Hannu Krosing PostgreSQL Unlimited Scalability and Performance Consultant 2ndQuadrant Nordic PG Admin Book: http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/books/
