I spoke too soon!

select executor_id, is_dedicated, is_connected, ping_time, host, port,
usr_name,
cpu_max, cpu_usage, cpu_avail, cpu_totalusage, mem_max, disk_max,
num_cpus, os, arch
from executor where  is_dedicated = 1 and  is_connected = 1


ERROR: operator is not unique: boolean = integer
État SQL :42725
Astuce : Could not choose a best candidate operator. You may need to
add explicit type casts.
Caractère : 201

I get this whether castcontext is 'a' or 'i'. I am so close to having
this fixed!!! Any ideas most welcome...
