Hello

i've read in the docs to use the proper indexes both types must match in
the where clause, to achive this the user can simply put a string into the
side of the equation mark and pgsql will convert it automaticly. my
question is, when I'm using PQexecParams, should I give all the values as
a string, and it will be converted, or I have to figure out the type of
the given field somehow? i'm writing an interface for my php extension(i'm
not statisfied by the boundled), so i cannot figure out the type of the
fields in most cases. what should be done for the best performance in this
situation?

The point is, that geeks are not necessarily the outcasts
society often believes they are. The fact is that society
isn't cool enough to be included in our activities.
