Hmmm, I ran the query straight from the docs and the columns are of type 'integer'.
mail=# \d users Table "public.users" Column | Type | Modifiers -----------+------------------------+---------------------------------------------------- id | integer | not null default nextval('users_id_seq'::regclass) priority | integer | not null default 7 policy_id | integer | not null default 1 email | bytea | not null fullname | character varying(255) | default NULL::character varying local | character(1) | <snip> mail=# \d policy Table "public.policy" Column | Type | Modifiers ------------------------------+-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- id | integer | not null default nextval('policy_id_seq'::regclass) policy_name | character varying(32) | This query runs fine from psql . . . . . . . . SELECT policy.*,users.* FROM users,policy WHERE (users.policy_id=policy.id) AND (users.email IN ('u...@domain.com')) ORDER BY users.priority DESC I tried putting escaped single quotes around the (%k) but that just caused some other "placeholder to bind with" error. HEY, it's the email column -- which is bytea --- on my other amavis server it's character varying 255 . . . . why the change? --- On Wed, 6/10/09, Mark Martinec <mark.martinec+ama...@ijs.si> wrote: > From: Mark Martinec <mark.martinec+ama...@ijs.si> > Subject: Re: [AMaViS-user] 2.6.3 with Postgres causing "ERROR: operator does > not exist: bytea = character varying" > To: amavis-user@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2009, 10:31 AM > Brian, > > > There's a good chance that I've misconfigured > something, but I'm at a loss > > for direction. > > > amavis[6032]: (06032-01) (!)lookup_sql: sql exec: > err=7, 25P01, DBD::Pg::st > > execute failed: ERROR: operator does not exist: > bytea = character > > varying\nLINE 1: ...HERE (users.policy_id=policy.id) > AND (users.email IN > > ($1,$2,...\n > > > > > ^\nHINT: No operator matches the given name and > argument type(s).
