This is exactly what libpqtypes solves. Not only do we handle formatting of binary formats, we provide a level of protection from internal format changes for libpq users.

So, documentation of binary formats (including network byte ordering) are not required. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
