I'm not sure how exactly you want to define these, but some possible
defintions will be dependent on the server encoding, which sounds
troublesome.
Well, the cast wasn't my suggestion, so I'll let that one slide -
someone else can pick it up if they like :P .
The encode() suggestion was to have it have the same effect as:
encode(byteain(varcharout(textvalue)), 'encodingtype')
Would it be such a worry to have that dependent on server encoding?
