The description is here: http://postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.3/postgres/protocol-message-formats.html Looking at the bytes comming over the Frontend/Backend protocol, however, it seems that the field is really always a String encoded according to the settings in the database - is that right? Thanks.
