Hi all, On advice from Gavin I'm finally having a look at a few bits and pieces I can do around the pg source and Gavin suggested the hex in copy statement. Researching the lists someone has provided a rudimentary patch for this late last year (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-10/msg00767.php). Is the functionality still required (I know it's not in cvs yet) failing that are there any other similar sized tasks requiring attention?
