Re: Extending SQL in C using VARIABLE length type

Oh, I see, does the VARSIZE length field have to be the total number of bytes occupied (including VARHDRSZ and the size of the structure) or only the size that is used by "my" datatype? Then it would become pretty much obvious, why this is not supposed to work.
I'll try it out then.
