Hi,

I noticed in the manual that there are many useful functions for the inet and url types. For example, I would like to convert an inet column to text for use in a Python script (since the python-monetdb module does not support the inet type.)

I tried:

sql>SELECT wlid, text(src), ts FROM web_log WHERE src IS NOT NULL ORDER BY src, ts LIMIT 5;syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting SCOLON in: "select wlid, text("

sql>SELECT wlid, inet:text(src), ts FROM web_log WHERE src IS NOT NULL ORDER BY src, ts LIMIT 5;

unexpected symbol (:)

sql>SELECT wlid, inet.text(src), ts FROM web_log WHERE src IS NOT NULL ORDER BY src, ts LIMIT 5;

syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting SCOLON in: "select wlid, inet.text("

I have read through the manual sections on types and functions several times now, and I cannot see how to use the specified functions on these types. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
