Ok, forgive the seemingly-stupid question, but I can't find the docs for the built-in functions anywhere. There's the pages at http://postgresql.readysetnet.com/users-lounge/docs/7.0/postgres/functions28 76.htm, but they don't go into detail beyond what I see there. Where the heck are the detailed docs (ideally, with some example code) for pgsql? thanks, Eric -- Eric Mueller, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (323) 417-4900 Experienced mySQL/PHP programmer available now! http://www.themepark.com/php/
