Hi.

In the course of porting a database from Microsoft SQL Server to 
PostgreSQL I have rewritten a few of the date and string functions in 
pl/pgSQL. Started with just datepart, datediff and soundex, but once 
started I continued and rewrote all date/time and string functions 
supported by MS SQL 2005. Leaving only compatibility with 
unicode-handling and binary objects (that MS SQL Server for some reason 
overloads string functions to work with).

I guess I am not the only one moving from MS SQL Server, so is there 
interest for others to use my work, as a contrib perhaps. And how should 
I continue from here in that case?

regards
