create function hex(text) returns text language sql immutable strict as $$
  select encode($1::bytea, 'hex')
$$;

create function hex(bigint) returns text language sql immutable strict as $$
  select to_hex($1)
$$;

create function unhex(text) returns text language sql immutable strict as $$
  select encode(decode($1, 'hex'), 'escape')
$$;


select hex('abc'), hex(123), unhex(hex('PostgreSQL'));
