Is it generally true that you can convert between types using the above method, assuming compatible syntax? That is, using the source type's output function to get a cstring that you pass to the target type's input function? Are there any potential problems with doing this? Is that how the PL/pgSQL RETURN trick works? It seems a handy way to cast one type to another when no built-in cast or function exists. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
