PostgreSQL version: 8.2.7
Operating system: Linux
Description: replace function returns null
Details:
I dont know if it's a bug or not. It just seems illogical to me.
replace( 'abcdefabcdef', 'cd', 'XX')
// returns 'abXXefabXXef', ok
replace( 'abcdefabcdef', 'XX', 'YY')
// returns 'abcdefabcdef', ok
replace( 'abcdefabcdef', 'XX', null)
// returns null, while it should return 'abcdefabcdef'
Sorry if that's not a bug. Could find anything related to this in the
documentation.
