Hi,
is there a way to encode a bytea in such a way that the resulting
text stream be readily available (\\ escaped for unprintable chars) for
usage in an insert statement?
None of base64,hex,escape options in encode() seem to produce
anything close.
This is meant to be used with generating insert statements in xml files
for remote processing.
I can always (in java) ResultSet.getString(bytea_col_idx),
get the result (ala psql) with one "\" trimmed out,
and process the output (by adding an extra "\" where needed) from there,
but i am not sure if the jdbc driver will be allowing this ... convinience
in the future.
Thanx.
