Hi,
With light on my recent philosophical question on doubles/uints for the
lossy storage on coordinates. I wonder the following;
Would it be possible to implement a binary MAPI protocol that can use
the native types of the data that is stored within MonetDB?
So for example; I create a table:
CREATE TABLE helloword (hello varchar(13), world integer);
INSERT INTO helloword (hello, world) VALUES ('hoi', 1);
And fetch this table:
SELECT hello, world FROM helloworld;
And receive the MAPI data in the following (too simplistic) way:
(len) (string)
--> 5 hello 5 world
--> 3 hoi 4 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x1
For several reasons the above will not work; the length field is too
short (only up to 255) it is also not optimal. I wonder if it can
trigger any idea to allow the end user to use native types instead of
char[]'s.
