I think the problem is that you'd have to know how to print the value, which can be in one of several different C types. You'd have to grow some more infrastructure in the GUC tables, I think, and that doesn't seem worth the trouble. Printing as text seems enough. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
