Thread: downloading booleans to CSV slow

Hi,

Whenever i export a query to CSV that contains booleans, writing the
data is exceptionally slow.
I'm using pgAdmin 1.8.4 on ubuntu, it also occurs in several (all?)
versions on windows.

Cheers,

WBL

Slow compared to what? Booleans (like numerics) should be quicker than
everything else because they are written as they come from the server.
Everything else will be slowed marginally because it must be quoted
and have any quotes in the data escaped.
