hello!
    i want to insert jpeg pictures into a bytea field and i implemented a 
SPI extension. this function reads the jpeg-file from the filesystem, 
converts it into a octal-coded string to pass the sql-parser, and then 
exec's the insert statement. this is rather slow, and i'd like to insert 
using lower level postgres functions that handle binary data without base64- 
or escaped en-/decoding.

did anyone something like this in the past?

thanks,
