Is there a way that I can find out the size of a bytea record? I am storing
images into bytea fields and I just want to know the size of the image that
it has been saved in the field

See the "Binary String Functions and Operators" section of the
"Functions and Operators" chapter in the documentation:

Thank you Michael. I am using the BIT_LENGTH function which seems to return
the size in bits of the stored blob

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

Do you need the length in bits? If not, then one of the other
functions in the documentation I referenced might be closer to
what you seek.
