Hello,
Is it possible to create a database function that mimics the C function atof?
I'm guessing it should look something like this:
create function atof(varchar) returns floatas '??????'language ????returns null on null input;
Thanks,
Mark

You can do this to convert a string to a float:
select '3.14'::float + 1;
?column?
---------- 4.14
(1 row)
Is that what you want?
