Because of the dropped implicid casts since IIRC 8.2.
You have to rewrite your query to:
select * from s12hwdb where record::date = '2012-09-20'::date limit 5;
(assuming record is a TIMESTAMP-Field)
Short example:
test=# select now() ~ '2012-09-22';
ERROR: operator does not exist: timestamp with time zone ~ unknown
LINE 1: select now() ~ '2012-09-22';
^
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need
to add explicit type casts.

test=# select now()::date = '2012-09-22'::date;
