I saw your note that you have to specify the types for date values etc. Is this really desirable or even necessary? Can't you specify the type as unknown (OID 705, I believe)? At work, we recently used to typelessness of Perl's DBD::Pg with great effect, introducing a more compact, type-safe representation for a few columns, without having to change all the existing Perl scripts accessing the database. That's why I'm wondering... (And we might be using Python instead of Perl today. Lack of a decent PostgreSQL module for Python meant it was very hard to argue against using Perl ...) -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
