Hi Postgresers,

I can't make the GetAttributeByName work for my text attribute.  The 
syntax I have is shown here,

char name[4];

strcpy(name,GetAttributeByName(t,"graphic_model", &isnull));

The attribute "graphic_model" is defined as text type.

The name array has all the garbage instead of the actual value.

What is the problem here?

My platform is Dec Alpha OSF/1.
