Hi Barry,
I looked in the postgresql documentation and couldn't find any mention
of a "bytea" type. Well actually, I found ..
$ grep -i bytea *
bki-commands.html:>bytea</TT
catalog-pg-proc.html:>bytea</TT
xfunc-c.html:>bytea</TD
xfunc-c.html:>(bytea *)</TD
but no real info on what it is, or no mention of it in the main types page.
Anyway, I think I'm fine for now, stipping the null chars from my data.
Tom.
