Hi,
There's already a couple of SQL function dealing with XLogRecPtrs and
the logical replication work will add a couple of more. Currently each
of those funtions taking/returning an LSN does sprintf/scanf to
print/parse the strings. Which both is awkward and potentially
noticeable performancewise.
It seems relatively simple to add a proper type, with implicit casts
from text, instead?
Greetings,
