FW: [HACKERS] decode() function for PostgreSQL

Dear Bruce,

I am not familiar with the process of applying patches. I am attaching the
source-code for the decode function we have developed for PostgreSQL. Can
you please do the needful, or redirect me to the appropriate person.

Thanks a lot,

warm regards,
Archana Bharatee

Send the patch to the patches list. A context diff against against 7.2
or CVS is just fine.
