The error message hints at what's wrong:
test=> SELECT '2006-08-01' + 30 + (7 * (3 - 1));
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "2006-08-01"
PostgreSQL doesn't know that the untyped string is supposed to be
interpreted as a date. Use a cast:
test=> SELECT '2006-08-01'::date + 30 + (7 * (3 - 1));
?column?
------------
2006-09-14
(1 row)
or
test=> SELECT CAST('2006-08-01' AS date) + 30 + (7 * (3 - 1));
?column?
------------
2006-09-14
(1 row)
