Hi all,

I would like to add the following item to the
wishlist:

currently the libpq-function PQfsize returns the
size in bytes of the field with the given field-
index. If the field is a variable-length field,
PQfsize returns -1.

In general as well as for some internal functionality
of the perl interface it would be useful, if PQfsize
would return the number of bytes even for variable-
length fields.

Edmund
