hi all,
This part looks correct and expected:
> $ psql foobar
> psql (9.3.5)
> Type "help" for help.
>
> foobar=# select coalesce('{}'::json->'a', 1);
> ERROR: COALESCE types json and integer cannot be matched
> LINE 1: select coalesce('{}'::json->'a', 1);
> ^
but check it out when I use a string instead of an integer:
> foobar=# select coalesce('{}'::json->'a', 'b');
> ERROR: invalid input syntax for type json
> LINE 1: select coalesce('{}'::json->'a', 'b');
> ^
> DETAIL: Token "b" is invalid.
> CONTEXT: JSON data, line 1: b
That seems like the wrong error - shouldn't it be the equiv of "[...]
json and string cannot be matched"?
Thanks,
Seamus
