Here we go:
SELECT s('abc 123','([^ ]*) (.*)','$2 $1');
This regex should swaps 2 columns seperated by 1 space.
For the moment I harcoded my regex in a special function, but I would be
delighted if it would be possible (without the use of eval) to have
arbitrary regular expression search-replace.
I don't think we're getting off-topic as too many ppl have asked this
question already and always the answer has been: Use PL/Perl
