I have a table which two columns (cod,des) are varchar.

When select :
select cod+des from .....
error

I creata function and operator +:
CREATE FUNCTION "varcharcat"("varchar", "varchar") RETURNS "text" AS 'select textcat($1,$2)' LANGUAGE 'sql';
COMMENT ON FUNCTION "varcharcat"("varchar", "varchar") IS 'concatenate';

CREATE OPERATOR + (PROCEDURE = "varcharcat", LEFTARG = "varchar", RIGHTARG = "varchar");

The resul is ok but :
select 'aaa'+'aaa';
ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '+' for types 'unknown' and 'unknown'
You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast
