Re: decode, base64 problem

What makes you believe that you should be able to get a decoded result after you've corrupted the encoded data?  You no longer have an encoded value, of any length, after doing substring - you now just have a sequence of five characters chosen from a subset of ASCII.

OK, I realized my mistake, but now I have a problem again:

select

encode(substring(lice, 110, 5),'base64') as Lokal0,

length(encode(substring(lice, 110, 5),'base64')) as Len05,

decode(encode(substring(lice, 110, 5),'base64')) as Lokal0decode
from grupa002.ispp_partner
where obrisan=0 and maticnibroj=30643;

ERROR:  42883: function decode(text) does not exist
LINE 19: decode(encode(substring(lice, 110, 5),'base64')) as Lokal0de...
