字符串函数和运算符是我们经常在SQL需要用到的。尤其是regexp_split_to_array和regexp_split_to_table(string text,pattern text [,flags text])这两个函数很多时候很方便。比如根据已经知道的id去执行一个函数，取得相应信息。下面的的例子是取得101,102,105三个用户的基本信息。
select get_user_info(user_id::Integer) from ( select regexp_split_to_table('101,105',',') as user_id) userIds
下面是字符串函数一览。

Table 9-6. Other String Functions
| Function | Return Type | Description | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ascii(string) |
int | ASCII code of the first character of the argument. For UTF8 returns the Unicode code point of the character. For other multibyte encodings,the argument must be an ASCII character. | ascii('x') | 120 |
btrim(string text [,characters text]) |
text | Remove the longest string consisting only of characters in characters (a space by default) from the start and end of string | btrim('xyxtrimyyx','xy') | trim |
chr(int) |
text | Character with the given code. For UTF8 the argument is treated as a Unicode code point. For other multibyte encodings the argument must designate an ASCII character. The NULL (0) character is not allowed because text data types cannot store such bytes. | chr(65) | A |
concat(str "any" [,str "any" [,...] ]) |
text | Concatenate all arguments. NULL arguments are ignored. | concat('abcde',2,NULL,22) | abcde222 |
concat_ws(sep text,...] ]) |
text | Concatenate all but first arguments with separators. The first parameter is used as a separator. NULL arguments are ignored. | concat_ws(','abcde',22) | abcde,22 |
convert(string bytea,src_encoding name,dest_encoding name) |
bytea | Convert string to dest_encoding. The original encoding is specified by src_encoding. The string must be valid in this encoding. Conversions can be defined by CREATE CONVERSION. Also there are some predefined conversions. See Table 9-7 for available conversions. | convert('text_in_utf8','UTF8','LATIN1') | text_in_utf8 represented in Latin-1 encoding (ISO 8859-1) |
convert_from(string bytea,src_encoding name) |
text | Convert string to the database encoding. The original encoding is specified by src_encoding. The string must be valid in this encoding. | convert_from('text_in_utf8','UTF8') | text_in_utf8 represented in the current database encoding |
convert_to(string text,dest_encoding name) |
bytea | Convert string to dest_encoding. | convert_to('some text','UTF8') | some text represented in the UTF8 encoding |
decode(string text,format text) |
bytea | Decode binary data from textual representation in string. Options for format are same as in encode. |
decode('MTIzAAE=','base64') | \x3132330001 |
encode(data bytea,format text) |
text | Encode binary data into a textual representation. Supported formats are: base64,hex,escape. escape merely outputs null bytes as \000 and doubles backslashes. | encode(E'123\\000\\001','base64') | MTIzAAE= |
format(formatstr text [,...] ]) |
text | Format a string. This function is similar to the C function sprintf; but only the following conversion specifications are recognized: %s interpolates the corresponding argument as a string; %I escapes its argument as an SQL identifier; %L escapes its argument as an SQL literal; %% outputs a literal %. A conversion can reference an explicit parameter position by preceding the conversion specifier with n$,where n is the argument position. See also Example 39-1. |
format('Hello %s,%1$s','World') | Hello World,World |
initcap(string) |
text | Convert the first letter of each word to upper case and the rest to lower case. Words are sequences of alphanumeric characters separated by non-alphanumeric characters. | initcap('hi THOMAS') | Hi Thomas |
left(str text,n int) |
text | Return first n characters in the string. When n is negative,return all but last |n| characters. | left('abcde',2) | ab |
length(string) |
int | Number of characters in string | length('jose') | 4 |
length(string bytea,encoding name ) |
int | Number of characters in string in the given encoding. The string must be valid in this encoding. | length('jose','UTF8') | 4 |
lpad(string text,length int [,fill text]) |
text | Fill up the string to length length by prepending the characters fill (a space by default). If the string is already longer than length then it is truncated (on the right). | lpad('hi',5,'xy') | xyxhi |
ltrim(string text [,characters text]) |
text | Remove the longest string containing only characters from characters (a space by default) from the start of string | ltrim('zzzytrim','xyz') | trim |

quote_ident(string text) |
text | Return the given string suitably quoted to be used as an identifier in an SQL statement string. Quotes are added only if necessary (i.e.,if the string contains non-identifier characters or would be case-folded). Embedded quotes are properly doubled. See also Example 39-1. | quote_ident('Foo bar') | "Foo bar" |
quote_literal(string text) |
text | Return the given string suitably quoted to be used as a string literal in an SQL statement string. Embedded single-quotes and backslashes are properly doubled. Note that quote_literal returns null on null input; if the argument might be null,quote_nullable is often more suitable. See also Example 39-1. |
quote_literal(E'O\'Reilly') | 'O''Reilly' |
quote_literal(value anyelement) |
text | Coerce the given value to text and then quote it as a literal. Embedded single-quotes and backslashes are properly doubled. | quote_literal(42.5) | '42.5' |

quote_nullable(value anyelement) |
text | Coerce the given value to text and then quote it as a literal; or,return NULL. Embedded single-quotes and backslashes are properly doubled. | quote_nullable(42.5) | '42.5' |
