Обсуждение: converting from text -> inet ... possible?
I scanned the archives, and one person asked it back in July, but there doesn't appear to be any followup ... Is it possible to go from text->inet in v7.0.3? if not, is it in v7.1? the following doesn't work: template1=# select '216.126.84.1'::text::inet; ERROR: Cannot cast type 'text' to 'inet' but I could be missing something in the docs?

how hard would it be to rectify before beta4 is put out? i'm doing a manual dump/restore to get my data from text->inet ... not elegant, but it works ... ::) On Thu, 18 Jan 2001, Thomas Lockhart wrote: > > Is it possible to go from text->inet in v7.0.3? if not, is it in v7.1? > > Seems to not be in 7.1 either. > > - Thomas > Marc G.
