Oh, I see. That would work too, but I don't really see that it's a huge improvement. What *would* be an improvement IMHO is to declare the pointer as unsigned char * in the first place ;-). However, that might result in having to introduce a lot of casts elsewhere ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
