# class PG::TypeMapAllStrings

This type map casts all values received from the database server to Strings and sends all values to the server after conversion to String by `#to_s` . That means, it is hard coded to PG::TextEncoder::String for value encoding and to PG::TextDecoder::String for text format respectivly PG::BinaryDecoder::Bytea for binary format received from the server.

It is suitable for type casting query bind parameters, result values and COPY IN/OUT data.

This is the default type map for each PG::Connection .
