We have database table with the following columns,
foo
------------------
name VARCHAR(20)
bar NUMERIC(20,0)
We were running version 7.2.1 until now.
The following SQL used to work fine in 7.2.1,
SELECT name FROM foo WHERE (bar & 64) <> 0;
Now we upgraded to version 8.1.5 and getting the error,
ERROR: operator does not exist: numeric & integer
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You may
need to add explicit type casts.
NUMERIC(20,0) is probably not the best way to define a column to be used
for bit arithmetic, but we cant change the column type because of
legacy.
Is there anyway I can get the existing SQL to work without any changes
on the application side.
Thanks,
