I think the fix there is that the type supplies a "to JSON" function as part of its type definition (just like input and output functions). "to XML" would also be useful. Most types wouldn't need them and default to string output. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
