Hi,
there are the following functions to convert types other than text to text:
$bash psql -c "\df" | sed -n '1,2 p; /^text.*convert/ p'
return_type|function |arguments |description
-----------+------------------+--------------------+------------------------
----
text |datetime_text |datetime |convert
text |int2_text |int2 |convert
text |int4_text |int4 |convert
text |oid_text |oid |convert
text |text |datetime |convert
text |text |timespan |convert
text |text |int4 |convert
text |text |int2 |convert
text |text |oid |convert
text |timespan_text |timespan |convert
is there realy no function to convert a float to text?
