A few months ago, I blogged about the difficulty of getting psql to put a
bytea datum into a file. See
<http://people.planetpostgresql.org/andrew/index.php?/archives/196-Clever-trick-challenge.html>.
Today I ran into the problem again, and it struck me that we could fairly
easily have a new command to handle this, called, say, bcopy. So it would
look like:

   \bcopy (select generate_bytea()) to foo.bin


Thoughts?
isn't better to fix current tools to work well with bytea?


Such as?

cheers
