If we do this transparently to users, we need additional select query to system catalog to find field type. Since pgsql is not a db access abstraction layer, adding a array parameter that indicates which field is binary or text may be the way to go. Lack of reverse operation would be problematic, though. We may wait until PostgreSQL implements appropriate API. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohg...@ohgaki.net
