pg_nanp's Introduction

pg_nanp

an efficient, validated, formatted NANP type

Description

This type supports efficient, validated, formatted usage of North American Numbering Plan (NANP) data. It only accepts valid NANP numeric sequences, rejecting sequences that violate NANP specifications. On the other hand, it supports numerous typical formatting embellishments to plain NANP numeric sequences. It formats output consistently in ###-###-#### format.
