[MonetDB-users] OCTET_LENGTH(blob_column)

Hi Sjoerd,

I noticed OCTET_LENGTH(blob_column) does not work.

According to the SQL standard, OCTET_LENGTH() is for both both character strings and binary strings.

I found that this workaround:

SELECT LENGTH(CAST(intag as TEXT))

seems to return what I need.

But it would be nice to make OCTET_LENGTH() work in the future :)

Do you have a feature request database? I can file a new request.

Thanks.
