Hello.

How to read binary file ?
I try pg_read_file() but this returns text
(not bytea) and skip part of record

I have written a set of file processing functions. As far as I'm
concerned that code can be added to the "contrib" modules, if anybody
is interested.

The dwn_read_binary_file() function returns a bytea.

If you want a private copy, contact me off-list.
