Hi!
Making separate functions for text and bpchar works for me.
> regression=# select pg_typeof(torus(f1)) from char_tbl;
> pg_typeof
> -----------
> character
I tried
create or replace FUNCTION torus(eevarus bpchar) returns bpchar
immutable AS $f$
select translate( $1, U&'\00f8\00e9', U&'\0451\0439' );
$f$ LANGUAGE SQL ;
create temp table test (
charcol char(10) );
insert into test values ('test');
select torus(charcol)
FROM Test
but it still returns result without trailing spaces. So it is not working.

I tried
create or replace FUNCTION torus(eevarus anylement ) returns anylement
immutable AS $f$
select translate( $1, U&'\00f8\00e9', U&'\0451\0439' );
$f$ LANGUAGE SQL ;
but got error
type anyelement does not exists.
Finally I tried
create or replace FUNCTION torus(eevarus text ) returns text immutable
AS $f$
select translate( $1, U&'\00f8\00e9', U&'\0451\0439' );
$f$ LANGUAGE SQL ;
create or replace function public.ColWidth(p_namespace text, p_table
text, p_field text)
returns int as $f$
select atttypmod-4 from pg_namespace n, pg_class c, pg_attribute a
where n.nspname = p_namespace and
c.relnamespace = n.oid and
c.relname = p_table and
a.attrelid = c.oid and
a.attname = p_field;
$f$ LANGUAGE SQL ;
create table public.test ( charcol char(10) );
insert into test values ('test');
select rpad ( torus(charcol), colwidth('public', 'test', 'charcol') )
FROM Test
as Adrian Klaver recommends in
at this worked. In this best solution?
How to remove p_namespace parameter from colwidth()? ColWidth() should
return column width in first search_path table just like select ... from
test finds table test.
Andrus.
