   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,
