Yes, I did work with the actual values, which gave me the error below.
Then I tried the above, but that as you rightly noted, shouldn't, and
didn't work either. In the meantime I recreated the database and did a

which of the two made it work again (should have done this more
systematically), but in any case, thanks for the feedback Markus.
