Thanks guys,
I agree that the data model is suspect. I'm trying to convert from Oracle to Postgres and changing table structures is not really an option for me. I tried casting the null, ... same problem. It does not like the undefined record type as David is saying. I will try his solution and let you know how it goes.
Interestingly a version of this:
CREATE INDEX TX_QSET_DIR_MAP_PRI_URI_TYP_UK
ON tx_question_set_dir_map
USING btree
(question_set2tx_question_set ,uri_type,
(CASE WHEN uri_type = 201900 THEN null::varchar(100)
ELSE question_set_dir_map_key END);
Worked for me. Try it if you are still interested.
Just do proper casting of null (it was varchar(100) in my case).
