Is this a legitimate/blessed way to go about it? aval = (bytea *)palloc( len + VARHDRSZ ); VARATT_SIZEP(aval) = len + VARHDRSZ; memcpy( VARDATA(aval), myrawdata, len ); values[0] = PointerGetDatum(aval); ...etc tuple = heap_formtuple( tupdesc, values, &isNull ); -- Ron Peterson https://www.yellowbank.com/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
