how does one determine whether libpq is sending an int64 or a double? I see all of the #ifdefs in the source: #ifdef HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP static int64 time2t(const int hour, const int min, const int sec, const fsec_t fsec); #else static double time2t(const int hour, const int min, const int sec, const fsec_t fsec); #endif but it is still unclear (at least to me) how to determine as the client whether the server has been compiled with the HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP flag. since both int64 and double use 8 bytes of storage on x86_64, you can't determine the type using PQfsize. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -Whit -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
