Um. Sooner or later we ought to do something about the whole automatic-casting-to-and-from-text issue. Datatypes shouldn't have to supply both I/O procedures and text cast procedures. > But with the help of plpgsql: Right, in the short term you can make it work inside a plpgsql function, since plpgsql is pretty darn lax about casting. But it'd be nice if it worked more generally. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
