Incidentally there *is* a single-byte integer data type in Postgres, it's called "char" (the quote marks are necessary in SQL due to the char(n) data type).
It's a bit weird though, mainly because its output format is to output ascii characters -- kind of like how C's single-byte integer data type is mainly used to hold ascii characters... -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
