Record decoder

[Carlos Ferreira da Silva]

The current implementation of decoders and encoders doesn't support embedded Records ou composite type?

What I'd like to do is decode the following example:

CREATE TYPE example AS (a string, b integer, c boolean);

CREATE TABLE test (id integer, sample example);

INSERT INTO test VALUES (1, '("Some text",123,false)');

SELECT * FROM test;

The query returns the following values, before decoder:

result['id'] === 1
result['sample'] === '("Some text",123,false)'

What I'd like to do is something like the "PG::TextDecoder::Array#decode" method, but with a mix of decoder functions, returning:

result['sample'] === ['Some text', 123, false]

Hi Carlos,

you're right, there is no coder support for embedded records currently. I'll try to implement it.

Carlos,

Did you ever find a solution for this?

Thanks!

I added this to our issue tracker: https://bitbucket.org/ged/ruby-pg/issues/258/add-record-en-decoder

However there's still not much to track.

Well, now that I'm using I'm own GEM, I solved the decode thing over there:
