PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3
Operating system:   Linux (Mandrake)
Description:        Error in some kind of UNION query.
Details:
this query work :
select null UNION 1;

this query doesn't work :
select null UNION null UNION 1;

ERROR:  UNION types text and integer cannot be matched

You probably mean
SELECT NULL
UNION
SELECT NULL
UNION
SELECT 1

Proper casting will help, insuring the correct type can be determined from the first SELECT. Changing the order to have SELECT 1 does the job too.
