8.3 is fussier about type matching than 8.2 was.  The query above is
casting idmovimientos to TEXT to do the comparison (since LIKE is
pointless on a BIGINT value).  8.3 doesn't do this automatically.

If you have a legit reason to do the above comparison, cast that column
to TEXT.  Although I agree with Alvaro that the query (as provided) is
pretty pointless.

You could also adjust the pg_cast table to make the cast implicit, which
would mimic the 8.2 behaviour.
