I plugged in the view definition from your original mail and got

regression=# SELECT * FROM vw_budget HAVING "period"='3';
bcode | subhead | sc_description | Budget | expenditure | balance | head | period
-------+---------+----------------+--------+-------------+---------+------+--------
(0 rows)

So either the problem requires data, or there is something wrong with
your left() function, which was not included in the script. I guessed
at

create function left(text, integer) returns text as
'select substr($1,$2)' language sql ;

but I dunno if this is anything like what you are using.

Please actually *test* the script you are submitting, next time, and
verify that it reproduces the problem starting from an empty database.
