Hi All -
I am new to Slony-1.  I have searched the archives for the last six 
months and haven't seen anything about this topic, so I am going to ask.

We are hoping to set up Slony-1 log shipping from our shop to a few 
others.  My shop is part of a science mission in the Physics Lab.  A lot 
of our data, essential for science, is stored as "double".  We need to be 
able to log ship that science data.

But, from what I can tell so far, Slony-1 log shipping only uses the Plain 
Text format for its shipped logs.  True or false?  If false, how do I 
specify binary or any other format?

If we must use plain text to log ship, what kind of accuracy can we 
expect for data type 'double', or 64 bit floating point numbers contained 
in that log?

Thank you,
Jennifer Spencer
