Re: textpos() in postgreSQL 7.0

Adam - 
Looks like it was renamed to strpos() in 7.0. A quick compatability 
hack to get up and running until you can rewrite the code would be to 
do something like:

CREATE FUNCTION textpos (text,text) RETURNS int AS 'SELECT strpos($1,$2)'
LANGUAGE 'SQL';

Now all your old code will work, just a little slower.
