I’m toying around with the wire protocol and came across something I don’t understand.
I created a table with two columns, one called “id” and one called “señor”. When I select from that table I get the list of columns and while its fairly easy to identify the column with the name “id”, I’m not sure how to identify the other column: So this would be the ID column: […] [7] = 0x69 [8] = 0x64 [9] = 0x00 [10] = 0x00 [11] = 0x00 [12] = 0x4f [13] = 0x08 [14] = 0x00 [15] = 0x01 [16] = 0x00 [17] = 0x00 [18] = 0x00 [19] = 0x17 [20] = 0x00 [21] = 0x04 [22] = 0xff [23] = 0xff [24] = 0xff [25] = 0xff [26] = 0x00 [27] = 0x00 […] And this señor: [47] = 0x01 [48] = 0x03 [49] = 0x00 [50] = 0x00 [51] = 0x73 [52] = 0x65 [53] = 0xc3 [54] = 0xb1 [55] = 0x6f [56] = 0x72 [57] = 0x00 [58] = 0x00 [59] = 0x00 [60] = 0x4f [61] = 0x08 [62] = 0x00 [63] = 0x08 [64] = 0x00 [65] = 0x00 [66] = 0x04 [67] = 0x13 [68] = 0xff [69] = 0xff [70] = 0x00 [71] = 0x00 […] What are the 4 bytes that precede the word señor? In other words, if I were to parse this, how would I know where the column name begins and ends? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
