Barry, This is a pretty interesting patch. I'll be wanting to use bytea in the coming weeks so I'll have a good chance to test this out. I haven't really looked at the patch itself but I'd be happy to see it committed as its great progress :) Thanks! Tom. > Attached is a patch to add bytea support to JDBC.
