Yep, that was my first idea too. You would copy an existing data type, and modify just the _input_ routine to handle input with no delimiters. I would simply add the delimiters and pass the string to the original input function; it really isn't that much work. The only downside is that you have to create/use a custom data type for this. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
