HI All: Please see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-251.
I see the following options: (0) Do nothing, tell users to convert byte[] to String before calling the API. Lame but will work IMO. (1) Convert byte[] to a String using Apache Commons Codec's Hex class by telling it to do so through a new CSVFormat option: an enum called ByteArrayFormat(HEXADECIMAL, BASE64). I am adding Base64 just for fun and avoiding using a boolean. -- (1a) Do the above and add a dependency to Commons Codec. Boom, done. -- (1b) Do the above but rejigger Codec into a multi-module project where PostgreSQL has its own module that depends on Commons Codec, might might mean use of service loaders and whatnot. Might be more of a 2.0 thing and over the top. I favor (1a). Thoughts? Gary
