We should it, but I prefer some pgfoundry or contrib package. sprintf is really far to SQL. What more, we knows types, so some format tags are useless. Using original sprintf function is possible, but needs lot of code, because you need to transform PostgreSQL types to C types, and we have not any helping function for this task. Some similar to plpgsql's RAISE statement is some +/- 20 rows regards Pavel Stehule > > -- > Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ > PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support > -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
