Hi, I am a very novice user of postres, and I immediately encountered

I still ad binary info as a gif file to a database, and if so, what
datatype should I use? my thanks,Ramses v. Pinxteren

You can use blob, but this is not a good idea if you want to allow
viewing these gif by Internet.
The better way is to store the path information into a text field. This
will give you better performance
