        Hi all,

        Below is an example of the auto-generated update query, with
        client-supplied keys (_iid). There's a fatal error when _iid is
        not numeric. However; this should accept any value.

        *Question:* How could I do something that would allow _iid to be
        more than just an INT?

        |WITH    in_rows AS(SELECT        CAST(customer_id ASBIGINT),
             csv_data,        freshbooks_id,        myob_id,
        ppy_id,        qb_id,        xero_id,        _iid
        FROM(VALUES('3905',E'\x1A',E'\x1A','c59894c-142b6',E'\x1A',E'\x1A',E'\x1A','44'),('39107',E'\x1A',E'\x1A','6260-2ba1',E'\x1A',E'\x1A',E'\x1A','65e-0f0d-49b4-9ac1-a8752ba1'),|

        |Thank you|

    ​You have a fatal error because the query you provided is
    malformed.  Send something that works, and provokes the relevant
    error, and we might be able to help.

Well above you are turning _iid into ::TEXT which is fine, though(as David pointed out) the receiving field should be that type also. So the problem is not your casting of _iid it is where you are sending that value.
