I got the same 144 rows here.
Have dropped the test database and recreated it again, then performed
these SQL commands:
select 'test'||1;
CREATE FUNCTION pg_catalog.text(integer) RETURNS text STRICT IMMUTABLE
LANGUAGE SQL AS 'SELECT textin(int4out($1));';
CREATE CAST (integer AS text) WITH FUNCTION pg_catalog.text(integer) AS
IMPLICIT;
select 'test'||1;
The first select worked but the second got the error.
ERROR: operator is not unique: unknown || integer
LINE 1: select 'teste'||1;
^
HINT: Could not choose a best candidate operator. You might need to add
explicit type casts.
********** Error **********
ERROR: operator is not unique: unknown || integer
SQL state: 42725
Hint: Could not choose a best candidate operator. You might need to add
explicit type casts.
Character: 15
