This is what you get when you copy a proprietary, poorly specified interface. The to_char functions are supposed to be Oracle-compatible, so we need to check what Oracle does. Whether that is useful in practice is a bit secondary. I'm beginning to think, if you want formatting functions that are more sane, stable, and standardized, export sprintf and strftime to PostgreSQL. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
