Is this a bug in 7.0.2

Dear all,

I've migrated from RedHat6.2/PHP3.0/PostgreSQL6.5 to
Mandrake/PHP4.0/Postgres7.0.2 successfully as far as
pg_dump database_name is concerned.

I am still running BOTH versions on two computers.

PostgreSQL6.5 does not produce any error using math function "integer
(float_expression)"
(even "int(float_expression" is OK with 6.5)
and 7.0.2 complains saying:

"function integer(float8) is not found for specified types"

The query  is used in something like this:

SELECT
  attr-1,
  attr-2,

  ...

 attr-k,
integer(attr-2 * $php_variable_1 + atrr-3 * $php_variable_2)   AS attr-N

FROM
   table_1, table_2
WHERE
   clause_1 AND
   clause_2
ORDER BY
   attr-2, attr-4

If I made an error HERE with the sintax, I apologise - I am not close to
my both Linux machines,
and sintax is OK in my real SELECT queries.

"$php_xxx"s are PHP variables and "attr-xxx"s are SQL table attributes.
The "integer(float_expression)"
is more complicated then written above BUT it all DOES work in 6.5 and
DOES NOT in 7.0.2.

Any ideas, please?


Much obliged,

Steven.
