Hello
I try casting function for domains. I can do it, but it doesn't work.
betal=# create domain mydomain text;
CREATE DOMAIN
betal=#
betal=# create or replace function mydomain_todate(mydomain)
betal-# returns date as $$
betal$# select to_date($1, 'YYYYMMDD');
betal$# $$ language sql;
CREATE FUNCTION
betal=#
betal=# create cast (mydomain as date)
betal-# with function mydomain_todate(mydomain);
CREATE CAST
betal=#
betal=# select mydomain_todate('20070715777'::mydomain);mydomain_todate
-----------------2007-07-15
(1 row)
betal=#
betal=# select '20070715777'::mydomain::date;
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type date: "20070715777"
betal=#
Is possible casting domain?
Regards
Pavel Stehule
betal=# select version(); version
