If you're trying to pass a binary parameter value to an array column,
you have to create the correct struct representing an array datatype,
as expected by array_recv. This implies making the appropriate array
header and (for integer data) converting each value to big-endian byte
order. A plain C uint32[] array definitely hasn't got the header, and
on Intel platforms it's the wrong byte order too. There is not anything
built into libpq that will do the translation for you.
