Good Morning list,
we have a strange situation here, manifested in the following queries :
Postgresql version : 9.3.10

dynacom=# select * FROM (select vals from fb_forms_defs fd, fb_reports_dets rd where fd.id=rd.fdid and fd.dbtag='observer') as qry;
   vals
---------

dynacom=#

^^^ is this normal? Isn't vals1 guaranteed to be integer since its the type defined in the subselect ?

However this seems to work :

dynacom=# select * FROM (select vals from fb_forms_defs fd, fb_reports_dets rd where fd.id=rd.fdid and fd.dbtag='observer') as qry WHERE vals[1] ~ E'^\\d+$' AND vals[1]::int=8844;
   vals
--------
  {8844}
(1 row)

dynacom=#
