Thread: Bad encoding in URL

Bad encoding in URL

From

Hi

I have some URLs in a database but some of the URL contain %3A and so on..

Is there an easy way of converting '%3A' to ':' ???

I cannot find any replace(String str, String str) among the string
functions.

ThankYou.

Maybe you want to look here:

http://www.brasileiro.net/postgres/cookbook/

mimic oracle's replace function.  versions in pltcl
and plpgsql. 

If the function you want isn't built in to
posgresql...

From the manual:
     replace(string text, from text, to text) text Replace all occurrences
in string of substring from with substring to  replace('abcdefabcdef', 'cd',
'XX') abXXefabXXef

HTH.
