Re: Convert int to hex - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi,
 You can use to_hex() function to convert integer to hexa number. I have tried with a small example.

create table testing( id int4 , sHex varchar( 20 ) )

insert into testing( id ) values( 204678 );
insert into testing( id ) values( 2076876 );


update testing set sHex = ( cast( to_hex( id ) as varchar( 20 ) ) )

select * from testing

Id     | shex
-------|------
204678 | 31f86
2076876| 1fb0cc

I want to be able to change an int4 from a sequence and store it as
varchar in the database as a hex number.

Is this possible?

Thank you,

Fernando
