I thought it would be pretty simple, too, so I decided to go ahead and write
and test it as an external module.
I think the function definition could be pasted directly into an appropriate
place in src/backend/utils/adt/cash.c, if someone wants to add it to the main
code base. The SQL to load it would need to be modified somewhat to fit into
postgres.bki.
Here is the C source:
#include <postgres.h>
#include <fmgr.h>
#include <utils/cash.h>
PG_MODULE_MAGIC;
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(cash_div_cash);
/* cash_div_cash()
* Divide cash by cash, returning float8.
*/
Datum
cash_div_cash(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
Cash dividend = PG_GETARG_CASH(0);
Cash divisor = PG_GETARG_CASH(1);
float8 quotient;
if (divisor == 0)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_DIVISION_BY_ZERO),
errmsg("division by zero")));
quotient = (float8)dividend / (float8)divisor;
PG_RETURN_FLOAT8(quotient);
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here is the SQL to load it (assuming it has been compiled as a dynamically
loadable module named divide_money and placed in the library directory on the
server):
CREATE FUNCTION cash_div_cash(money, money) RETURNS double precision
LANGUAGE c IMMUTABLE
AS '$libdir/divide_money', 'cash_div_cash';
CREATE OPERATOR / (
PROCEDURE = cash_div_cash,
LEFTARG = money,
RIGHTARG = money
);
