Hello,

I wishing to create real big numbers, but I'm facing some difficulties.

Is possible to setup an integer type of more than 8 bytes (i.e. 16/32/48/64
bytes)?

Can I setup a value as large as I want?

How I should acess them using PG_RETURN_xxx and PG_GETARG_xxx macros?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel Oliveira
