My input is a byte array with a length. I can't assume zero-termination for varchar fields, so cstring_to_text_with_len is exactly what I need for those. For varbinary (i.e., bytea), you're right, it's just a couple of lines of code, but what if the implementation of struct varlena changes? Are we guaranteed that "palloc(len + VARHDRSZ)" will always allocate the correct amount?
Why not just (bytea) cstring_to_text_with_len(...) ? -- Jim Nasby, Data Architect, Blue Treble Consulting, Austin TX Experts in Analytics, Data Architecture and PostgreSQL Data in Trouble?
