as i posted a few weeks ago, it is a handicap for me writing client side
appliciations with postgres, that you cant catch errorcodes - especially
after type casts. so you have to rewrite type check functions for every
client system.
programers life would become a lot easier if one would be able to let the
db-system do this work.
to remove this drawback i wrote a c-module for parsing/casting input data
and integrated it into postgres.
if someone is interested in my solution there is a demo and a short
description available at
http://www.wiro.co.at/postgres/test/demo_en.php
please let me know, what you think about this solution.
