Hallo. i just coded a new datatype named "cistring", that can be used in every function that accepts text or varchar, and has the great ability to be ordered case insensitive in ORDER BY- Clauses and Indices. The problem is, that its coded like the text-type, so it is variable length completly.
I miss the possibility to code something like a userdifined varchar(n). I don't know how to create an input function, that accepts the size of the type, or a function, how to declare such types at all. I think, somethink like a userdefined numeric(n,m) isn't possible, too, or am I wrong? Thank you for all replies, Daniel Migowski ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
