Re: warning: pg_query(): Query failed

hi,

i'm setting up a forum that's connected to postgresql 7.4.2 (via
drupal.org framework) and i'm getting some errors. here's the link,
followed by the errors verbatim:
http://128.32.146.140/dmap/?q=forum

warning: pg_query(): Query failed: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type
boolean: "2"
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "if" line 2 at if in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/dmap/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line
104.

user error:
query: SELECT DISTINCT(n.nid), l.last_comment_timestamp,
IF(l.last_comment_uid, cu.name, l.last_comment_name) as
last_comment_name, l.last_comment_uid FROM node n ,
node_comment_statistics l /*! USE INDEX (node_comment_timestamp) */,
users cu, term_node r WHERE n.nid = r.nid AND r.tid = 1 AND n.status =
1 AND n.type = 'forum' AND l.last_comment_uid = cu.uid AND n.nid =
l.nid AND '1' ORDER BY l.last_comment_timestamp DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET 0
in /Library/WebServer/Documents/dmap/includes/database.pgsql.inc on
line 121.

any ideas?

here's my system:
- drupal v4.5.1
- mac os x server v10.3.5
- postgresql v7.4.2
- php v4.3.6

thanks,
aaron

We would have to see database.pgsql.inc to tell you what's wrong with
it.

The actual problem is in the PLSQL function named IF that you didn't show
us.

Recent versions of postgres have tightened up casting to boolean.
Perhaps in the past '2'::boolean might have worked, but in 7.4 this
won't work. '1' or '0' are valid boolean representations.

hi bruno,

would it be useful to see the IF PLSQL function, or would you recommend
a modification to the database.pgsql.inc file?

hi steven,

here's another file where the actual SQL query (the one in the error
message) is defined. it's in the forum_get_forums() function. bruno
noticed that the IF (via pl/pgsql) might not like the boolean casting
to "2" since 7.4 is more strict about casting? does this help?

Once you have done this, <a href=\"%taxo-terms\">add some terms</a> to

field, users will be given additional information about the forum on
the main forum page. For example: \"troubleshooting\" - \"Please ask
your questions here.\"</p>

You should probably try looking at the IF function first to see if you
can spot it using 2 as a boolean and why it is doing that. It may be
simple to fix.

It didn't look to me like the problem was with the php code unless the code
you showed us was getting changed by php before getting sent to postgres.

In the php code you showed the following fragment:
IF(l.last_comment_uid, cu.name, l.last_comment_name)

I doubt that l.last_comment_uid is a boolean based on its name.
If it isn't this is probably the source of your problem.

hi bruno,

turns out that l.last_comment_uid and l.last_comment_name are integer
and char var respectively. since i'm using 7.4.1 with strict boolean
casting, is there a better alternative to instantiating a different
version of pgsql on my server?

A better solution is fixing your code. What do you expect it to do
anyhow? Once you figure out what you want it to do, you should be able
to write a boolean expression that is true, false or null when you
want it to be. If fact from what I saw it seems that you could just use
a CASE expression and skip the function call altogether.
