You would. The error is:

ERROR:  operator does not exist: timestamp without time zone >= integer

Change this:


     BETWEEN

                  ' || date_start || '

               AND

                   ' || date_end || '

to

     BETWEEN

        date_start::text

     AND

        date_end::text

Or change the argument types to text and then:

BETWEEN

        date_start

     AND

        date_end

In either case you will have your original query.
