create or replace function bin(bigint) returns text language plperl as $$ my $arg = $_[0] + 0; my $res = ""; while($arg) { $res = ($arg % 2) . $res; $arg >>= 1; } return $res; $$;Any reason not to use sprintf("%b", $_[0])?
All very well and good, but it has to be PL/SQL preferably or PL/pgSQL. I can write it in PL/PGSQL easily enough I guess but I was hoping there was a neato shortcut.
