Hello!

I have table with ltree column:

create table product
(
    product_id    varchar(18)                                    not null
        constraint product_pkey
            primary key,
    category_path ltree
);

And trying execute this SQL query:

    insert into product
    (product_id, category_path)
    (select  r.product_id, r.category_path from unnest($1::product[]) as r)

Args:

[[{'category_path': 'A.B', 'product_id': '3912331'}]]

And i get this error:

asyncpg.exceptions._base.UnsupportedClientFeatureError: cannot decode type "public"."product": text encoding of composite types is not supported

But "public"."product" -- it's schema and table name.

If i create new table with category_path = text instead ltree, all ok.

This is because ltree doesn't support binary I/O, and asyncpg doesn't implement text I/O for composite types, so there isn't much we can do here unfortunately.
