Could anyone tell me why the bytea datatypes seems to like some bytes better
than others?

CREATE TABLE
testdb=# insert into byteatest (blob) values (E'\\007');
INSERT 0 1
testdb=# insert into byteatest (blob) values

Is there a way for bytea to take a hex number, or do I
Could someone explain why \208 is not a valid syntax for bytea?
I am getting the following:
