ascii() is defined as ascii(text). As of 7.4, bpchar->text conversion strips trailing blanks, so what ascii() sees is a zero-length string. Given that trailing blanks are insignificant in bpchar, I'm not sure I'd call this a bug. If we decide it is, we could work around it by creating an ascii(bpchar) entry ... but what's the argument that says insignificant trailing blanks must map to the same thing as significant blanks? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
