Bug reference:      4053
Logged by:          Aleksej Saushev
Email address:      [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PostgreSQL version: 8.3
Operating system:   NetBSD, but this does no matter
Description:        libpq documentation should express clearly, that
integers are passed in network octet order
Details:
The documentation on PQexecParams is silent about the precise format,
expected by server for binary parameters, it should be more explicit and note that integers are expected in network octet order.

This brings up a good question.  Exactly how do users know what format
_binary_ is?  int4 is network byte order, but what about int8, float4,
inet?


They don't have to if they use the libpqtypes library :)
