Hi Christoph,
I cannot use CAST in this exact example. I have _only_ be able to
change the operator in the whole expression...
I mean:
a = b (give me the error, because a=numeric and b=double precision)
I need something like (for example):
a =!= b (an _equal_ operator which support a numeric and double
precision operands).. I am inventing this '=!=' operator type...
Thanks...
