Subject: using "TEXT" in C files ..
Date: Sun, 12 Jun 1994 18:39:05 -0400 (EDT)
Message-ID: <9406122239.AA26597@cs.mtu.edu> (raw)


Greetings Netters,

What files are needed to be included to use the "TEXT"
data type of Postgres while writing code for some complex
data definition ..?

The CIRCLE example showed which file to include to use
the POINT data type .. (is any required for TEXT ?)

can we say :

typedef struct {

	CIRCLE c;
	int i;
	TEXT t;        <<<<?????

	} xyz;


Also is this TEXT of variable size .. ? >>

If so then is this xyz type to be defined as a "variable-internal
length" .. ?  (because we won't know the size of xyz till the run
time) ...

Also can we safely assume (while coding in C) that a retrieved 
glob (from disk) will have the TEXT t ending with a NULL ??

thanks in advance!
Bruce!
