create or replace function replace (varchar, varchar, varchar) returns varchar as ' declare string alias for $1; find alias for $2; replacement alias for $3; match integer; end_before integer; start_after integer; string_replaced varchar; string_remainder varchar; begin string_remainder := string; string_replaced := ''''; match := position(find in string_remainder); while (match > 0) loop end_before := match - 1; start_after := match + length(find); string_replaced := string_replaced || substr(string_remainder, 1, end_before) || replacement; string_remainder := substr(string_remainder, start_after); match := position(find in string_remainder); raise notice ''replaced %, remainder %'', string_replaced, string_remainder; end loop; string_replaced := string_replaced || string_remainder; return string_replaced; end; ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'; -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
