Re: No, pg_size_pretty(numeric) was not such a hot idea

So, here's a complaint: 9.2 is breaking our code for checking table sizes:

postgres=# select pg_size_pretty(100);
ERROR:  function pg_size_pretty(integer) is not unique at character 8
HINT:  Could not choose a best candidate function. You might need to add
explicit type casts.
STATEMENT:  select pg_size_pretty(100);
ERROR:  function pg_size_pretty(integer) is not unique
LINE 1: select pg_size_pretty(100);              ^
HINT:  Could not choose a best candidate function. You might need to add
explicit type casts.

Obviously, we can work around it though.  Let's see if anyone else
complains ...
