PostgreSQL version: 10.1
Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Description:
Documentation in
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-numeric.html states
that the range for integer type is -2147483648 to +2147483647.
However casting the minimum value literal with :: syntax to integer fails
(ERROR: integer out of range).
postgres=# select version();
version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 10.1 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu
5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609, 64-bit
(1 row)
postgres=# select -2147483648::integer;
ERROR: integer out of range
postgres=# select cast(-2147483648 as integer);
int4
-------------
-2147483648
(1 row)
postgres=# select (select -2147483648)::integer;
?column?
-------------
-2147483648
(1 row)
The expected outome is that the first query returns the same result as the
other two.
Bigint and smallint types have the same issue.
