Re: pgsql: Remove hard coded formats for INT64 and use configured settings

I don't find this patch to be a good idea. The code was unconditionally
correct before, and now it isn't:

- sprintf(mallocedval + strlen(mallocedval), "%lld,", ((long long int *) var->value)[element]);
+ sprintf(mallocedval + strlen(mallocedval), INT64_FORMAT ",", ((long long int *) var->value)[element]);

"long long int" will match "%lld" by definition. It matches
INT64_FORMAT only if "long long int" is 64 bits. What's more,
this change will probably result in adding not subtracting warnings
on platforms where configure selects "%ld" for INT64_FORMAT.

Please revert.
