`encode(data bytea, format text)`|`text`|Encode binary data into a textual representation. Supported formats are: `base64`, `hex`, `escape`. `escape` converts zero bytes and high-bit-set bytes to octal sequences (`\``<nnn>`) and doubles backslashes.|`encode('123\000\001', 'base64')` → `MTIzAAE=`

`initcap(string)`|`text`|Convert the first letter of each word to upper case and the rest to lower case. Words are sequences of alphanumeric characters separated by non-alphanumeric characters.|`initcap('hi THOMAS')` → `'Hi Thomas'`
`left(str text, n int)`|`text`|Return first `<n>` characters in the string. When `<n>` is negative, return all but last <code>&#124;&#60;n&#62;&#124;</code> characters.|`left('abcde', 2)` → `'ab'`

`split_part(string text, delimiter text, field int)`|`text`|Split `string` on `delimiter` and return the given field (counting from one). When `n` is negative, returns the `|n|`-th-from-last field. |`split_part('abc~@~def~@~ghi', '~@~', 2)` → `'def'`
