Re: what is the date format in binary query results

This brings up a second question. How should I do byte order conversion for 8 byte ints? I can't use hton ntoh routines as they max out at 32 bits. Is there a better way? Also, are floating point numbers guaranteed uniform?

If any one knows a a clean code example of binary binding of parameters and binary extraction of results for all major types in C against lippq that would be a very useful thing to have in the standard docs.

It's either an int8 representing microseconds away from 2000-01-01
00:00:00 UTC, or a float8 representing seconds away from the same
origin.
