There has been a long standing issue about not having the ability to pass parameters to Postgresql in binary format. Currently all parameters are passed as text and Postgresql figures out what type they should be.
Cyrus raised the question about whether passing parameters as binary rather than text should be set globally or on a query by query basis. He also raises the question of whether the QUERY macro could be more efficiently re-written.
Your thoughts are requested.
