Hopefully a quick question.

If I store a file into a bytea field, is there anyway for postgres to read
the contents of the file?

Here is my scenario:

Receive text file
insert file into bytea field
insert trigger fires
- read file contents
- post contents into production tables

Is this at all possible, or am I going to need to store the original file
and store/pass the file contents?

Thanks,

Chris
