I would like to add functionality which allows a client to tell the server which types can be sent in binary format. The immediate goal is to suppress hex quoting for BYTEA values, but it seems to make sense to make this functionality more general.
This doesn't have to be a flag on the wire protocol, it could be a regular run-time parameter. Do you think this would make sense? -- Florian Weimer <fwei...@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99 -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
