Re: URL Decode function

Hi,

You can create your own "decode" function in pg like this example using
varchars as input.  Then simply create other overloaded "decode"
functions for different input datatypes.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION decode(expr varchar, search varchar, result varchar, dflt varchar) RETURNS varchar AS
$$
BEGIN
CASE WHEN expr = search THEN RETURN result; ELSE RETURN dflt; END CASE;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Michael Vitale
