Re: How can I use crosstab functons in PostgreSQL 9.3?

Tim,

Thank you, but I think I already did that.  The query is a dollar-quoted string, so there should be no need to do
anythingwith the single quote marks within it, so I would have thought the query engine would already know that it's
text. But after seeing the first error message, I explicitly casted it using "::text".  The error message that time
saidthat crosstab(text) was not found, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Looks to me like argument types possibly? The article creates various combinations of crosstab() function but you are
passingin a query. Wrap your query in quotes (and then escape those within it). Then you'll be passing in a "text" type
notan "unknown" as the error clearly shows.
