Loading Binary Data into Bytea Fields?

I am getting ready to try to add image viewing into my postgresql browser...

I am probably going to start with storing a thumbnail and a URL for the
actual
image in the table.

Is there any demo code for loading binary (actually images...) data into
a bytea field.

The data is going to come from a file....

Jerry

PS: Searching the archives has become painfully slow for me...are there
any mirror
sites that have reasonable response times?

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddres sHere" to ma*******@postg resql.org)

Hello,

I suggest using large objects over bytea fields.
What language are you using?

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake

Hi all, AFAIK it is possible for columns to be very large, up to about 2 GB. Are there any hints or experiences about storing binary data (jpg-images, pdf-documents) in PostgrreSQL with or without the complicated lo-stuff? Of course it's in many cases a good approach to store those files simply in the file system but there's always a risk of running out of sync (filesystem and tables), e.g. by deleting files and not deleting the table...

Do I need to use the -b option in pg_dump to dump bytea fields? For a while now I have been routinely using the -b option in pg_dump to back up, restore, and copy my databases because I thought that this was necessary to dump bytea fields. I am not using other types of large objects in my database. Recently, I tried to dump a database with this option and the dump failed; however I can dump the database without the -b option and my...

I'm attempting to use spamassassin 3.0 (beta) with an SQL backend, and have identified one performance gain so far that makes PostgreSQL a good (IMO) candidate for the backend. I need some advice though on another aspect-- instead of storing each token as text in the database, the token is being sha1()'d and then possibly pack()'d. That's all just background for my real question-- is there anything in the standards (or elsewhere) that...

Hi, I am pretty new to Python and trying to use it for a relatively simple problem of loading a 5 million line text file and converting it into a few binary files. The text file has a fixed format (like a punchcard). The columns contain integer, real, and date values. The output files are the same values in binary. I have to parse the values and write the binary tuples out into the correct file based on a given column. It's a little more...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
