hello, now that i finally managed to write some functions and triggers in perl, i get the following error: insert into journal (plus,minus,description,currency,amount) VALUES (101,420,'a test....','EUR','1.000.000'); ERROR: pg_atoi: error in "1.000.000": can't parse ".000.000" normal since the value was declared as beeing an int4.... and i would like to keep that this way..... the purpose of the trigger is exactly to strip the prettyprinted number that's incoming of eventual '.' and ',' ..... but the pg_atoi comes before even my trigger has a chance to get a grip onto that line.... anything i can do? (besides declaring the field as of type text...) any way i can tell the DB to use my function instead of pg_atoi when parsing lines for a certain table? -- ciao bboett ============================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://inforezo.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett http://erm1.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing....
