Hi, using v8.3.5 and a number of client libraries (java, python, pgadmin) and playing about with arrays.

They all return arrays as text, is it possible to configure postgresql to return an array in native form (does postgresql support such a thing)? This is using both the simple and extended query forms - i couldn't see a way to say what return type i wanted in the protocol docs...

This would seem much better in terms of performance, both size and speed(conversion).

Thanks
