hi all,

This part looks correct and expected:

$ psql foobar
psql (9.3.5)
Type "help" for help.

foobar=# select coalesce('{}'::json->'a', 1);
ERROR:  COALESCE types json and integer cannot be matched
LINE 1: select coalesce('{}'::json->'a', 1);
                                         ^

but check it out when I use a string instead of an integer:

foobar=# select coalesce('{}'::json->'a', 'b');
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type json
LINE 1: select coalesce('{}'::json->'a', 'b');
                                         ^
DETAIL:  Token "b" is invalid.
CONTEXT:  JSON data, line 1: b

That seems like the wrong error - shouldn't it be the equiv of "[...] json and string cannot be matched"?

Thanks,
Seamus
