Re: Missing operator for numeric comparison

Is it possible to fix this before RC1?

bray=# \d price
Table "price"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-------------+-----------------------+----------
product | character varying(10) | not null
cost | numeric(12,2) | not null
home | numeric(12,2) | not null
export | numeric(12,2) | not null
next_home | numeric(12,2) |
next_export | numeric(12,2) |
Index: price_pkey

bray=# select * from price where home = 1.50;
ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '=' for types 'numeric' and 'float8'
You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast

If it were an easily fixed thing, it would have been fixed long ago.
