Re: Add uuid_to_base32hex() and base32hex_to_uuid() built-in functions

Hi,

That's intentional - see the discussion above:

"""
[...]
This code checks if the remaining bits of the input data are all zero.
IIUC we don't have a similar check for base64 and base64url. For
instance, the following input data is accepted:

=# select decode('AB', 'base64');
decode
--------
\x00
(1 row)
"""

Also see the documentation in respect of padding.
