I am attempting to create a new language implementation. The language is Andl (andl.org), so the handler is plandl. I am having a bit of trouble executing SPI queries from inside plandl. The particular problem arises after calling SPI_cursor_fetch() and then SPI_getbinval() on a column of type BYTEA (BYTEAOID 17). I was expecting to get back a Datum of type bytea, but the length is crazy. From the look of the data, I suspect that what I have is a compressed TOAST, and I don't know how to handle those. 1. Does SPI_getbinval() indeed return compressed TOAST values? 2. If so, what should I do (in general) to ensure the values I retrieve are de-toasted?
