I could not find out how bit strings are stored on this list, or by searching the archives via the
PostgreSQL website. So I finally searched http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ and found them. I am
putting this information here to make it easier to search for on the postgres weg site.
The article is:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=postgresql-general&m=103902413213999&w=2
The date is:
2002-12-04 17:39:41
The author is:
Joe Conway
The answer is, (quoted from pgsql source code):
* The length of the bitdata vector should always be exactly as many
* bytes as are needed for the given bitlength. If the bitlength is
* not a multiple of 8, the extra low-order padding bits of the last
* byte must be zeroes.
