Hello:
A user of the PgSqlClient ADO.NET provider is having problems
when with timestamp and time values, he has a postgres 7.4.1
postgres install in a Suse machine.
The provider works implements v3.0 of the postgres protocol handling
timestamp andtime in binary format, the problem seems to be that the
server is sending the timestamp value encoded as an Int64, but when
running the same test against the postgresql snapshot for win32 the
value seems to be encoded as a double :-\ (i have run the same test
postgres 7.4.2 on Fedora Core 1 and seem s to be sending it encoded
as a double)
What is the supposed format that should be expected for time and
timestamp values in binary format ??
There are any way to retrieve the value encoded always in the same
way ?? or i'm making something really bad ?? :)
