pgx support?

[tamis-laan]

I'm trying to use pgx to insert and retrieve a gps point:

	// Establish a connection to the database
	conn, err := pgx.Connect(context.Background(), <CONNECTION_STRING>)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Ensure we have PostGIS on the database
	_, err = conn.Exec(context.Background(), "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Create the table with a PostGIS column
	_, err = conn.Exec(context.Background(), `
		CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS gps_points (
			id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
			geom geometry(Point, 4326)
		);
	`)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Construct the PointS struct
	point := pq_types.PostGISPoint{Lon: 37.6088900, Lat: 55.8219130}

	// Insert the GPS point into the table
	_, err = conn.Exec(context.Background(), "INSERT INTO gps_points (geom) VALUES (ST_GeomFromText($1));", point)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Retrieve the GPS point from the database
	var retrievedPoint pq_types.PostGISPoint
	err = conn.QueryRow(context.Background(), "SELECT geom FROM gps_points WHERE id = $1;", 1).Scan(&retrievedPoint)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Retrieved GPS point: %+v\n", retrievedPoint)

But I get back:

can't scan into dest[0]: PostGISPoint.Scan: expected []byte, got string (0101000020E6100000B98D06F0162055C0AF25E4839E8D4340)
