Thread: DBI support for pg native arrays?

Hello,

For a "select array(...) as col1, col2, col3 from table" I'd like the DBI
driver to output col1 as a perl array instead of a scalar
"{res1,res2,etc.}" representation of it.

Is that somehow possible? I looked at the docs without finding anything.

Thanks,

That would involve the DBI driver converting it, since it's just
returning what the server returns...

Have a nice day,

It is not currently possible, but it is being worked on as part of the next
version of DBD::Pg.
