Hi Baris,
Think i found something for you. In pg_proc (a table you can and querry
in any postgres database - try "select * from pg_proc) i found the
following :
float4_text accepts float4 returns text
float8_text float8 text
int2_text int2 text
int4_text int4 text
int8_text int8 text
text_float4 text float4
text_float8 text float8
text_int2...... . .
I think all these functions work with the argument between brackets ()
as any function in (almost) any language, but haven't tested them yet
though.
If You run into problems with fonctions or procedures, you should look
at this table, as well as at the pg_operator table. They are very
instructive, and speak for themselves, with some assumptions :-)
Hope it helps,
regards from Walter De Moudt
(sorry for the sloppy layout, had a drink tonight :-s)
