Hello all,

My following problem is:

swports=# select substring(cp from 1 for 4)::int4 from out2cp;
ERROR: pg_atoi: error in "6.1,": can't parse ".1,"

SQL syntax is apparently OK. When I omit the typecast, the query
works:

swports=# select substring(cp from 1 for 4) from out2cp;
substr
--------
3182
3182
3182
-8<- text deleted ---

The cp entries are varchars in form NNNN.N, where N is numeral.
So can someone explain why the parse error?

Bye Borek
