Thanks, this worked good. I had finished testing of creating
server-side functions and starts creating my business-oriented things on
SPI, and I have trap again - I can't translate datetime column, which
pass to my procedure. I must convert it to UNIX 1970-seconds counter for
my internal needs, but I havn't found _any_ PG_GETARG_* function in fmgr.h,
which can read time types as procedure's arguments. Sorry for this question,
but PG_GETARG_* function is not documented anywhere...
