I have N-bit data pairs. I want to write a c-language function which compares bits set in each. N is typically 512, but could be other. I can store this as bit varying(512) or bytea(64). I can't decide which. Here are the questions that concern me. 1) will each take the same storage? 2) can I pass bit varying data to a c-language function? I can't find any docs or examples of that. 3) are bit strings stored as actual bits or as character strings of 0 and 1?
Thanks, TJ
