# 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` .
