This is probably in the documentation but I couldn't find it.
All I could see is that if you open a cursor for binary it would return
with a type of binary rather than text in the row data messages. The
RowDescription format code is always text, and the cursor thing is the
only way I could see to change that.
Is there some setting I can set that will make it return all data as
binary? The dream would also be that I could ask the server it's native
byte order and have it send me binary data in it's native byte order.
Nice and fast. :-0
