date is 4 byte integer. look at libpqtypes datetime.c here:
http://libpqtypes.esilo.com/browse_source.html?file=datetime.c
/* PGdate members required isbc, year, mon, mday */
int
pqt_put_date(PGtypeArgs *args)
{
int dval;
PGdate *date = va_arg(args->ap, PGdate *);
PUTNULLCHK(args, date);
CHECKDATEVALS(args, date);
dval = date2j(BC2YEAR(date->isbc, date->year), date->mon+1, date->mday)
- POSTGRES_EPOCH_JDATE;
pqt_buf_putint4(args->put.out, dval);
return 4;
}
