one caveat, 8.4 (and 9.0) tightened up considerably the rules for
implicit typecasting as there were a number of serious ambiguities in
the sloppy way it was done before.... so code written for an earlier
version might throw some SQL errors when migrated to 8.4 or 9.0+ ....
these errors are generally quite easy to fix... cast to integer here,
cast to text there, done.
