I can't see how this would work with binary query parameters - the server will see a blob of binary data and have no way to know what it represents. I presume DBD::Pg is using text parameters, rather than binary. -- Andrew McNamara, Senior Developer, Object Craft http://www.object-craft.com.au/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
