Thread: Where is the String Length function?

It am a bit ashamed asking this, but I could not find a pgsql function
that returns length of a text. Would anybody give me an advice?

Thank you in advance.

Try length function:
userbase=> select length(cast ('123456' as text));
length
------
     6
(1 row)
