Indeed. For starters, if we are going to try to provide serious support in libpq for binary-format parameters, it probably ought to cover more than just integers. OTOH, I think we've already seen where that line of thought leads, and it looks pretty ugly too: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2007-12/msg00014.php Anyway, I'd like to see a design discussion about what any libpq API changes in this area ought to look like, rather than having it be determined by who can submit the quickest-and-dirtiest patch. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
