[SQL] How to split up phone numbers?
Hi, is there a way to split up phone numbers? I know that's a tricky topic and it depends on the national phone number format. I'm especially interested in a solution for Germany, Swizerland and Austria. I've got everything in a phone number column that makes hardly sense like: +49432156780 0049 4321 5678 0 04321/5678-0 and so on... Those 3 samples are actually the same number in different notations. Aim would be to get a normalized number split up in 4 seperate columns nr_nation nr_city nr_main nr_individual so I end up with 49 4321 5678 0 for central 49 4321 5678 42 for Mr. Smith Is this doable? It would be a start to at least split off nr_nation and nr_city. -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql

[SQL] Function definitions - batch update
Hi list, I've come across a situation when I need to add some constant code to all functions in my database. Does anyone know a way to batch update all definitions ? I've got like 500 functions so doing it one by one will be time consuming. pozdrowienia mk
