[BUGS] Function round(double precision, integer) does not exists troublein 7.3.1, did work on 7.2.1

[Felipe Barousse Bou�]

I am having trouble with a function round that used to work in 7.2.1

PostgreSQL was updated to 7.3.1 from 7.2.1, the data was re-loaded into
7.3.1 with no complaints from the DB engine but, at application run
time, we do get the error:

Function round(double precision, integer) does not exists

Code executed and that worked fine in 7.2.1 is:

select
        clientes.id_cliente,
        clientes.codigo_cliente,
        clientes.total,
        clientes.deuda,
        clientes_pagos,
        total_pagos,
        diferencia
        from
(
select 
        clientes.id_cliente,
        clientes.codigo_cliente,
        clientes.total,
        clientes.deuda,
        (clientes.total-clientes.deuda) as clientes_pagos,
        sum(sum) as total_pagos,
        round((clientes.total-clientes.deuda)-sum(sum),4) as diferencia 
        from
                (
                select 
                        codigo_cliente, 
                        sum(total_pago) 
                        from pagos
                        where estatus!='C'
                        group by codigo_cliente 

                union
                select 
                        codigo_cliente, 
                        sum(total_nota)
                        from notas_credito
                        where estatus!='C'
                        group by codigo_cliente
                ) 
                as TT

        where codigo_cliente=clientes.codigo_cliente
        group by clientes.codigo_cliente,
        clientes.id_cliente,
        clientes.total,
        clientes.deuda,
        clientes_pagos
)
as TT1
where diferencia>0;


Question is, what changed in 7.3.1 in reference to the round function.  

Tom Lane stated in a previous post (attached below) that "There isn't a
round(double, integer) function in 7.3 and there wasn't one in 7.2
either."    I am not so sure that is the case in our installation.

� How it can be explained then that it worked fine in a stock install
(rpm from RedHat Linux 7.3) of PostgreSQL 7.2.1 ?

Are we missing something here...?

Any comments or sugestions are welcome.
