PostgreSQL , Oracle , 兼容函数 , Oracle compatible functions
背景
PostgreSQL功能上基本可以和Oracle对齐，只是一些语法或者函数名不一样，所以为了做到兼容，有一些兼容包和兼容函数的出现。
PostgreSQL自带了一些Oracle兼容函数，如果你觉得不够意思，可以通过orafce插件继续扩展PostgreSQL与Oracle的兼容性(本文不涉及orafce包)。

PostgreSQL自带的Oracle兼容函数
在源码src/backend/utils/adt/oracle_compat.c中可以找到它们的定义

* initcap
*
* Syntax:
*
* text initcap(text string)
*
* Purpose:
*
* Returns string, with first letter of each word in uppercase, all

*
* lpad
*
* Syntax:
*
* text lpad(text string1, int4 len, text string2)
*
* Purpose:
*
* Returns string1, left-padded to length len with the sequence of
* characters in string2. If len is less than the length of string1,
* instead truncate (on the right) to len.
*
********************************************************************/
/********************************************************************
*
* rpad
*
* Syntax:
*
* text rpad(text string1, int4 len, text string2)
*
* Purpose:
*
* Returns string1, right-padded to length len with the sequence of
* characters in string2. If len is less than the length of string1,
* instead truncate (on the right) to len.

/********************************************************************
*
* btrim
*
* Syntax:

*
* Purpose:
*
* Returns string with characters removed from the front and back
* up to the first character not in set.
*
********************************************************************/
/********************************************************************

* Syntax:
*
* bytea byteatrim(byta string, bytea set)
*
* Purpose:
*
* Returns string with characters removed from the front and back
* up to the first character not in set.
*
* Cloned from btrim and modified as required.
********************************************************************/
/********************************************************************
*
* ltrim
*
* Syntax:

/********************************************************************
*
* rtrim
*
* Syntax:
*
* text rtrim(text string, text set)
*
* Purpose:
*
* Returns string with final characters removed after the last
* character not in set.

/********************************************************************
*
* translate
*
* Syntax:
*
* text translate(text string, text from, text to)
*
* Purpose:
*
* Returns string after replacing all occurrences of characters in from
* with the corresponding character in to. If from is longer than to,
* occurrences of the extra characters in from are deleted.
* Improved by Edwin Ramirez <ramirez@doc.mssm.edu>.

/********************************************************************
*
* ascii
*
* Syntax:
*
* int ascii(text string)
*
* Purpose:
*
* Returns the decimal representation of the first character from
* string.
* If the string is empty we return 0.
* If the database encoding is UTF8, we return the Unicode codepoint.
* If the database encoding is any other multi-byte encoding, we
* return the value of the first byte if it is an ASCII character
* (range 1 .. 127), or raise an error.
* For all other encodings we return the value of the first byte,
* (range 1..255).
*
********************************************************************/
/********************************************************************
*
* chr
*
* Syntax:
*
* text chr(int val)
*
* Purpose:
*
* Returns the character having the binary equivalent to val.
*
* For UTF8 we treat the argumwent as a Unicode code point.
* For other multi-byte encodings we raise an error for arguments
* outside the strict ASCII range (1..127).
*
* It's important that we don't ever return a value that is not valid
* in the database encoding, so that this doesn't become a way for
* invalid data to enter the database.

/********************************************************************
*
* repeat
*
* Syntax:
*
* text repeat(text string, int val)
*
* Purpose:
*
* Repeat string by val.
