Sorry I wasn't clear, it's using libpq and binary data using an 'insert' statement. The code looks something like this: PQexec(connection,"prepare addrow (timestamp) as insert into mytable values ($1)"); lengths[0] = sizeof(double); formats[0] = 1; *(double*)(values[0]) = tv_sec - ((POSTGRES_EPOCH_JDATE - UNIX_EPOCH_DATE) * 86400) + (tv_sec / 1000000.00); PQexecPrepared(connection,"addrow",1,(void*)values,lengths,formats,0); While the new code is something like: int64_t pg_timestamp; PQexec(connection,"prepare addrow (timestamp) as insert into mytable values ($1)"); lengths[0] = sizeof(int64_t); formats[0] = 1; pg_timestamp = ((tv_sec - ((POSTGRES_EPOCH_JDATE - UNIX_EPOCH_JDATE) * 86400)) * (int64_t)1000000) + tv_usec; *(int64_t*)(values[0]) = bswap_64(pg_timestamp); PQexecPrepared(connection,"addrow",1,(void*)values,lengths,formats,0); I'll see about writing up a proper test case/schema. Looks like I'm probably most of the way there at this point, really. ;) Stephen
