Hi, In version 7.2.3 this works fine: select substring(bitfromint4(cast (-2^31 + 22 as int4)), 1, 32);
and now I'm porting the legacy code, that this line is part of, to version 8.1 but am having no luck updating it - have tried something like: select substring(bit(cast (-2^31 + 22 as int4)), 1, 32); and select substring("bit"(cast (-2^31 + 22 as int4)), 1, 32); and select substring(1::"bit"(cast (-2^31 + 22 as int4)), 1, 32); with no luck. How can this be solved? /Björn
