Re: create default

Sorry, there is a "bug" in my statement (according to debug issues), the
correct statement should be:

CREATE FUNCTION test() RETURNS opaque AS
'BEGIN
IF new.cno1 IS NULL THEN
IF new.cno2 IS NULL THEN
new.cno1 := trim(new.cno3);
ELSIF new.cno3 IS NULL THEN
new.cno1 := trim(new.cno2);
ELSE
new.cno1 := trim(new.cno2)||trim(new.cno3);
END IF;
END IF;
RETURN new;
END;'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

BTW, for getting correct results, you should define cno1 as long as the
maximum length of cno2 and cno3 together (20).

Regards, Jens
