Hi, Currently, there's a discussion on the pljava list, and we're confused about a small detail:
Does PostgreSQL call the datatypes' defined send() function before storing the tuple data in the table, on disk, and call receive() when reading it again? My position was that send()/receive() are only used for client communication in the V3 protocol binary mode, and COPY in binary mode, but the backend stores them in the tables as_is (modulo compression/ TOASTing). Is my assumption correct? Btw, I'm going to triple-check this in the source and via tests, too. Thanks, Markus -- Markus Schaber | Logical Tracking&Tracing International AG Dipl.
