Looks like cash_words is fixed in current CVS, so I guess in 7.2.1:Welcome to psql 7.3devel, the PostgreSQL interactive
terminal.Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help on internal
slashcommands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quittest=> select
cash_words('-700000000000000000000000000000'); cash_words
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minustwenty one million four hundred seventy four thousand eighthundred thirty six dollars and forty eight cents(1
row)
Looks like cash_out still bombs:
test=> select cash_out(2);server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated
abnormally before or while processing the request.The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset:
Failed.
