[SQL] create function atof?

[mark]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a database function that mimics the C function atof?
I'm guessing it should look something like this:

        create function atof(varchar) returns float
        as '??????'
        language ????
        returns null on null input;

Thanks,

Mark
