Re: Postgres View DDL

Tried changing to this:

(coalesce(REGEXP_REPLACE(broker_mc::numeric, '[^0-9]+', '', 'g'), 0)),
(coalesce(REGEXP_REPLACE(carrier_mc::numeric, '[^0-9]+', '', 'g'), 0)),
(coalesce(REGEXP_REPLACE(freight_forwarder_mc::numeric, '[^0-9]+', '',
'g'), 0)),

but that throws this error:

ERROR: function regexp_replace(numeric, unknown, unknown, unknown) does
not exist
LINE 46: (coalesce(REGEXP_REPLACE(broker_mc::numeric, '[^0-9]+', ...
^
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might
need to add explicit type casts.
