Magnus,

Thanks for your advice. I've understood how it happens.

However, it looks tricky and difficult to understand,
so I hope that the message could be more understandable
as Thom mentioned.

Regards,

Hi all,

I've found a bit strange thing on the INTEGER range in the official manual.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/datatype-numeric.html

According to the official manual, the INTEGER range is "-2147483648 to 
+2147483647".
However, my example in below shows that "-2147483648" is not accepted.

Is this correct? Any suggestions?

template1=# SELECT -2147483648::integer;
ERROR:  integer out of range

This gets parsed as "cast 2147483648 to integer

Why?  And if so, it would probably be more useful if the error message
was something more like:
ERROR:  integer 2147483648 out of range

That would at least show the user what the value was seen as by the parser.

Thom
