Ah yeah, the concatenation. I was thinking of using "+" but I can't make it work and the documentation says not to use it for psycopg2.

Sorry what's bottom-post? I see you did that yesterday. Is there a format for before making a bottom-post?

Sorry for bumping this email.

I would just like to clarify regarding regexp_replace:

WHEN mobilenumber ~'^9[0-9]' AND LENGTH(mobilenumber) = 10
THEN regexp_replace(mobilenumber, '', '+63')

If the pattern is empty '', does this mean that the replacement_string param will be added to the value of source? It does what I want it to do but I am not sure if that's always the case if pattern param is empty.

If you could bottom-post like the rest of us that would be helpful.

While that seems to work it is definitely obscure.  You should just use concatenation.

’+63' || mobilenumber

The pattern is a zero-length string, matched once, which first matches the start of the input text.  Not sure what happens when the input is the empty string...
