yeah forgot another thing....
i want also to write a SQL trigger to parse incoming fields for
preprocessing before DB insertion....

in perl i would do a thing like that:

$format = "9999.999.999,99"; #took out of DB...
#inserting a number into the db....
$theval =~ s/\.//g;
if($theval =~/\S+,\d{2}/)
{
  $theval =~ s/,//g;
  $theval *= 100;
}
  
#extracting a number from the db....
$f= $#format;
$i= $#theval;
$res = "";
while($i>=0)
{
  if($format[$f] neq "9")
  {
    $res = $format[$f].$res  
    $f--;
  }#if($format[$f] neq "9")
  $res = $theval[$i].$res ; 
  $i--;
  $f--;
}#while($i>=0)

any chance i could this get out of the frontend into the DB? (as sayd
want to write more frontends so the less is in the frontend and the more
in the DB...)
