Right. The only place where a libpq client would be dealing with network-byte-order data is within binary-format values for data fields (in SELECT results) or binary-format parameters (when transmitting to the database). Metadata like field lengths is just in the local native representation. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
