 The PostgreSQL's to_char() is very compatible with Oracle's to_char now. I hope that to_char's 3000 rows of source is without bugs, but will good if anyone test it, for me it works very well :-) Karel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Karel Zak <zakkr@zf.jcu.cz> http://home.zf.jcu.cz/~zakkr/
