I don't know ecpg very well, but if it doesn't provide any information
about parameter datatypes then the backend would resolve this:
case when $7 > 0 then $8 else null end
as producing a result of type "text". 7.4 would have allowed that to be
cast to int silently, but 8.3 won't (and the runtime cast involved
would've been expensive anyway). I suggest sticking a cast directly
on the ambiguous parameter, ie
> case when :h_event_ref_log_no > 0

(You needn't cast the null, since the type attached to the other case
arm is a sufficient cue.)
