Hello!

This patch is a new function based on the implementation of to_hex(int).

Since support for octal integer literals was added, to_oct(int) allows
octal values to be easily stored and returned in query results.

  to_oct(0o755) = '755'

This is probably most useful for storing file system permissions.
