Hi,
I am trying to write values of different types to relation using following
code.
if(typbyval)
{
min_ba = (bytea *) palloc(len+1+VARHDRSZ);
memcpy(VARDATA(min_ba), min_datum, len);
SET_VARSIZE(min_ba, len+VARHDRSZ);

The aforementioned code works fine for types like int, data, text and I can
read values from the relation correctly. The problem arises for type
float8 which is not by value type and it has fixed length (8) where I
Thanks Greg, for showing interest.
The problem here is I need to store values of different types into bytearray
column of relation.

Oh, hm. I think you need to look at typlen instead of typbyval.
But you have an

But you have an additional problem for typbyval types: the pointer to
Datum isn't necessarily pointing at the right bytes. I think you have
to use the GET_[1248]_BYTES macros depending on typlen. There may be a

Perhaps you should study the ANALYZE code. AFAICS your requirements are
not different from those of the pg_statistic data store. You should do
things
Thanks Tom for your interest.
I could find a workaround for the issue wherein the value of type
which is not stored by value and has fixed data length, is being
stored in string format to the relation.
While retrieving from relation, this value is converted by using
coerce_to_specific_type()
to

The answer is simple: don't do that. You do not need to, and should
