Yes, thanks David. You are correct, and I meant to talk about that, butEvery kind of data. Great for real prepared statements. Great for possibly creating a more robust client-side interface that doesn't rely solely on constructing SQL statements.
by the time I got to the end of the email, I had forgotten.
We are looking to overhaul the wire protocol for 7.4, and one of the
TODO items is:
o Special passing of binary values in platform-neutral format (bytea?)
What this will allow us to do is to pass binary to the server as a
self-contained value, rather than inside the query string. This will
make things much easier for binary data.
I assume that this is non-trivial, though, and it'll be a while before we see 7.4, yes? I'm also looking forward to Tom's optimizing of subselects!

David
