Hi!

First of all, try our newest automatic build (at http://basetenframework.org/autobuilds/) 
. As you might have read, we're preparing for releasing version 1.7,  
so version 1.6.2 is somewhat outdated.

If you've been using libpq for now, you might want to read section 2.6  
(Handled PostgreSQL types) in the manual included on the disk image.  
Currently there's no public interface for adding custom serialization  
methods but we're working on it. Meanwhile, you can write custom  
getters and setters which convert the objects to your desired types.

If your database schema is complicated in the sense that it uses  
triggers and views extensively, there could be some caveats. (In  
general, database features such as those are supported.) If you'd  
like, we can take a look at your schema and see if there might be any  
problems. The only more restricting limitation is that relations are  
required to have primary keys.
