Use bytea, its for 0-255, binary data. When your client
library does not support it, then base64 it in client side
and later decode() into place.

Thanks, bytea sounds like what I need. Why no documentation on this
important data type?

Does the Java client library support setting this type using
setBytes or setBinaryStream?

Chris,

Current sources for the jdbc driver does support the bytea type.
However the driver for 7.1 does not.

thanks,
