We have got used to the problem that queries of the format:
select *
from customer
where cust_id = '123' are much much faster than
select *
from customer
where cust_id = 123
(where cust_id is defined as bigint).
a. Why is this.
b. Will moving to v7.4 change this so we can avoid the whole '123' casting
thing.
