Anyone have a good pre-built user-defined type definition for creating /
maintaining / manipulating a SSN ... where valid chars are in the range
000-00-0000 through 999-99-9999.
I imagine that the storage column is probably varchar(11) -- I am looking
for a type definition that
1) checks that all numbers are in the range [0..9] 2) inserts the dashes at position 3) accepts either
'000123456'OR '000-12-3456' as the input 4) leading zeroes (as in the above) must be stored -- hence varchar(11)
instead of numeric 5) always outputs in thje format '000-12-3456'
Either that or the question is: How can I coerce postgreSQL into using an
input / output "mask"...
