The odbc.c file is for installing the set of ODBC compatibil

contrib/odbc was a quick hack just before

OK, I will send patch for this and send domumentation for all
oracle_compat.c routines...
I don't want make some changes to contrib/odbc, because it's out of
me... but I have a question, Why in the contrib/odbc
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,

Ignore that. Probably "char()" had some parsing or overloading problems.

ichar() is for ODBC compliance. chr() could probably be an alias to it.

We don't control the ODBC specification ...

Sounds to me like calling it ichar() was an err

ichar(). Since that's part of the "oracle_compatibility"

Interesting for me
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?
