hello,
now that i finally managed to write some functions and triggers in perl,
i get the following error:
insert into journal (plus,minus,description,currency,amount) VALUES
(101,420,'a test....','EUR','1.000.000');
ERROR: pg_atoi: error in "1.000.000": can't parse ".000.000"
normal since the value was declared as beeing an int4.... and i would
like to keep that this way.....
the purpose of the trigger is exactly to strip the prettyprinted number
that's incoming of eventual '.' and ',' .....
but the pg_atoi comes before even my trigger has a chance to get a grip
onto that line....
anything i can do? (besides declaring the field as of type text...)
any way i can tell the DB to use my function instead of pg_atoi when
parsing lines for a certain table?
