Following this up, is there any docs on the binary wire format for arrays?

Thanks

  Hi, using v8.3.5 and a number of client libraries (java, python, pgadmin) and 
playing about with arrays.

  They all return arrays as text, is it possible to configure postgresql to 
return an array in native form (does postgresql support such a thing)? This is 
using both the simple and extended query forms - i couldn't see a way to say 
what return type i wanted in the protocol docs...

  This would seem much better in terms of performance, both size and 
speed(conversion).

  Thanks
