Let's slow down and back up a bit. First, what version of
PostgreSQL are you using to compile DBD::Pg, and what version
are you connecting to? Many of the things being discussed
have already been solved if you are running a modern version
of PG (e.g. 7.4 or greater).
The binding is already handled quite well: we use PQprepare
whenever possible. The default of type "VARCHAROID" is mostly
cosmetic, so that some other things work: we actually send
a type "unknown" (0) if no type is specified for a placeholder
via bind_param. (see the "defaultval" of the placeholder
struct). Older servers may benefit from the VARCHAROID change
however, so I will see about making that change.
The stuff in types.c could certainly use some cleaning up, but
it is also not really used anymore - we let the server do all
the quoting for us now via PQexecPrepared and PQexecParams.
