deci...@phonebook.local=# create function textcoalesce("any") returns void language sql as $$SELECT coalesce( $1::text, '<NULL>' )$$;
ERROR:  SQL functions cannot have arguments of type "any"
STATEMENT: create function textcoalesce("any") returns void language sql as $$SELECT coalesce( $1::text, '<NULL>' )$$;
