You can also do this with the R language, which you can access from PostgreSQL via PL/R. http://www.r-project.org/ http://www.joeconway.com/plr/ CREATE FUNCTION pnorm(z double precision) RETURNS double precision AS $$ return(pnorm(z)) $$ LANGUAGE plr IMMUTABLE STRICT; SELECT z, pnorm(z) FROM generate_series(-3, 3) AS g(z); z | pnorm ----+--------------------- -3 | 0.00134989803163009 -2 | 0.0227501319481792 -1 | 0.158655253931457 0 | 0.5 1 | 0.841344746068543 2 | 0.977249868051821 3 | 0.99865010196837 -- Michael Fuhr ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
