that doesn't make any sense at all.

'user: ' *is* text by default. I didn't notice you displaying your
table definitions, but assuming u_name is TExT or VARCHAR(...) it
should have worked without any explicit casts

if you broke the permissions on the pg_catalog so badly that the SQL
planner can't look up the data types of the fields of your own tables,
well, thats just wrong.
