I tried this real quick at the psql command prompt, and unfortunately it

mydb=# select ('1' || repeat('0',7))::bit varying;
ERROR:  cannot cast type text to bit varying

I appreciate the try though.  Any other ideas?  I am using PostgreSQL
8.2.3.1.  I don't know if that matters too much.

Ah, sorry - that was an 8.3-only cast.

I think your only real option will be to build your query as a string and use EXECUTE to get the bit-varying you want in your function.
