ask: select right(column) ???

[hendra kusuma <penguinroad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I have simple question
I tried following code
>  select right(column, number_of_character) from table
but it didn't work, saying that pg doesn't have the function
is there any way to achieve such output?

honestly I have no idea that such simple feature doesn't exist in postgresql
or am I wrong? since I look at SQL Key Words table and it's written as reserved

Thank you
Regards
Hendra
