Receiving a binary value and encoding it back into text seems to be an
anti-pattern to may. Don't want to silently enable this. May be able to
reverse course later if necessary.
Previously, the Scan documentation stated that scanning into a []byte
will skip the decoding process and directly copy the raw bytes received
from PostgreSQL.
This has not been true for at least 2 months. It is also undesirable
behavior in some cases such as a binary formatted jsonb. In that case
the '1' prefix needs to be stripped to have valid JSON. If the raw
bytes are desired this can easily be accomplished by scanning into
pgtype.GenericBinary or using Rows.RawValues.
In light of the fact that the new behavior is superior, and that it has
been in place for a significant amount of time, I have decided to
document the new behavior rather than change back to the old behavior.
Increased data type support for simple protocol. Improved test
coverage of simple protocol. This has the additional advantage of
exercising the text encoders and decoders.
Because reading a record type requires the decoder to be able to look up oid
to type mapping and types such as hstore have types that are not fixed between
different PostgreSQL servers it was necessary to restructure the pgtype system
so all encoders and decodes take a *ConnInfo that includes oid/name/type
information.
Though this doesn't follow Go naming conventions exactly it makes names more
consistent with PostgreSQL and it is easier to read. For example, TIDOID becomes
TidOid. In addition this is one less breaking change in the move to V3.
