Hi, I've a large table with lots of floats (or doubles) that i want to query using C API. By default, in C, the rows are returned as a type of char **, therefore floating numbers are returned as ascii strings. Is it possible to fetch somehow directly these numbers in their original binary representation? I know it is architecture-dependent, but if we use localhost, it won't cause any problem if the result is casted directy to (float) and/or (double). For our problem, it would be much more efficent to do the queries this way than the server converts the number to ascii, the client converts the number againt to binary (on the same machine), and we do what we want to do after it (which is a simple multiplication, not as time consuming as two conversions...).
