If you're not comfortable doing this in C, you might also want to consider one of procedural languages pl/pgsql, pl/perl, pl/python. pl/pgsql is probably only viable if you just need this for ints and bigints, unless you don't care about performance. best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
