Hi folks.
I've got a problem with regex_replace. As you can see below psql displays the
error saying the function does not exist. Can anyone see why, and what I
need todo to fix it.
Cheers
goole=# select distinct ud_rfl from used_diary where ud_rfl ~ ' *= *';
ud_rfl
-----------
12 = 1wk
12=1WK
12m = 1wk
6=1WK
(4 rows)
goole=# select distinct regex_replace(ud_rfl,' *= *','+') from used_diary
where ud_rfl ~ ' *= *';
ERROR: function regex_replace(character varying, "unknown", "unknown") does
not exist
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You may need to
add explicit type casts.
goole=# select distinct replace(ud_rfl,'=','+') from used_diary where ud_rfl
~ ' *= *';
replace

12 + 1wk
