Re: [HACKERS] ascii to character conversion in postgres

Of course, if an alias for ichar is carried forward I can write code for the current postgres that won't break with future releases. I realize that I might end up being the only person on the planet who ends up using ichar, and that may not be sufficient justification for an alias Best, Alex

[HACKERS] ascii to character conversion in postgres

2000-09-16 Thread Alex Sokoloff
Postgres has an 'ascii' function that converts characters to ascii, values, but it appears to be a one way street. I can't find a way to convert ascii values to characters, like 'chr' in Oracle. Anyone know how to do this? -Alex __ Do You Yahoo!?
