yeah forgot another thing....
i want also to write a SQL trigger to parse incoming fields for
preprocessing before DB insertion....
in perl i would do a thing like that:
$format = "9999.999.999,99"; #took out of DB...
#inserting a number into the db....
$theval =~ s/\.//g;
if($theval =~/\S+,\d{2}/)
{ $theval =~ s/,//g; $theval *= 100;
}
#extracting a number from the db....
$f= $#format;
$i= $#theval;
$res = "";
while($i>=0)
{ if($format[$f] neq "9") { $res = $format[$f].$res $f--; }#if($format[$f] neq "9") $res = $theval[$i].$res ;
$i--;$f--;
}#while($i>=0)
any chance i could this get out of the frontend into the DB? (as sayd
want to write more frontends so the less is in the frontend and the more
in the DB...)
