Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers command line util to convert mm to inches etc? Post 302503755 by koodawg on Friday 11th of March 2011 01:38:05 PM

Yeah, I am aware that I can lookup the conversion ratios and manually calculate with a calculator. That's not what I was looking for. Let me clarify. What I am looking for is a conversion utility that has many conversions built into it for converting mm to inches, miles to km, liters to quarts etc. etc. etc. Thanks.

ALTER 
CONVERSION(7) SQL Commands ALTER CONVERSION(7) NAME
ALTER CONVERSION - change the definition of a conversion SYNOPSIS
ALTER CONVERSION name RENAME TO newname ALTER CONVERSION name OWNER TO newowner DESCRIPTION
ALTER CONVERSION changes the definition of a conversion. You must own the conversion to use ALTER CONVERSION. To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role, and that role must have CREATE privilege on the conversion's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the conversion. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any conversion anyway.) PARAMETERS
name The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing conversion. newname The new name of the conversion. newowner The new owner of the conversion. EXAMPLES
To rename the conversion iso_8859_1_to_utf8 to latin1_to_unicode: ALTER CONVERSION iso_8859_1_to_utf8 RENAME TO latin1_to_unicode; To change the owner of the conversion iso_8859_1_to_utf8 to joe: ALTER CONVERSION iso_8859_1_to_utf8 OWNER TO joe; COMPATIBILITY
There is no ALTER CONVERSION statement in the SQL standard. SEE ALSO
CREATE CONVERSION [create_conversion(7)], DROP CONVERSION [drop_conversion(7)] SQL - Language Statements 2010-05-14 ALTER CONVERSION(7)
