Hello all,

   My following problem is:

swports=# select substring(cp from 1 for 4)::int4 from out2cp;
ERROR:  pg_atoi: error in "6.1,": can't parse ".1,"

   SQL syntax is apparently OK. When I omit the typecast, the query
works:

swports=# select substring(cp from 1 for 4) from out2cp;
 substr 
--------
 3182
 3182
 3182
-8<- text deleted ---

   The cp entries are varchars in form NNNN.N, where N is numeral.
   So can someone explain why the parse error?

   Bye Borek
