It seems that my last mail on this did not get through to the list ;(
Please consider renaming the new builtin function split(text,text,int) to something else, perhaps split_part(text,text,int) (like date_part) The reason for this request is that 3 most popular scripting languages (perl, python, php) all have also a function with similar signature, but returning an array instead of single element and the (optional) third argument is limit (maximum number of splits to perform) I think that it would be good to have similar function in (some future release of) postgres, but if we now let in a function with same name and arguments but returning a single string instead an array of them, then we will need to invent a new and not so easy to recognise name for the "real" split function. ---------------- Hannu ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
