I HAVE found a list of functions, among them integer(), under mathematical functions and have NOT found anything about int4() or intn(), should I say. Perhaps, I was not searching the docs enough, but you know how we do things in a hurry - we do search the TOC. So, if there is intn() desribed somewhere in the docs, I apologise BUT there is not then we have a communication problem. Thanks in any case. The most important thing is that my migration from RedHat6.2/postgreSQL6.5 to Mandrake/PostgreSQL7.0.2 was easy and successfull, mostly because of this forum and questions/answers that we have in circulation.
