Thanks a lot. I knew it was existing in Orcale, but I haven't find any
documentation on this function. I have another problem of that style, I must
convert a varchar to a numeric. It seems that to_num or to_number doesn't
exists, and cast tells me "Cannot cast type 'character varying' to
'numeric'". Does another function for that exists ?
And where could I find a list of existing functions in Postgres 7.2 ?

Regards,
Stéphane.
