If the data is binary then you could store it in a BYTEA column. How
to get such data into the database depends on the client interface --
you could escape the data appropriately and embed it into an INSERT
statement, or you could use a parameterized query that either
transfers binary data using the PostgreSQL protocol (available in
7.4 and later) or automatically escapes the data. See your interface
documentation for more information.
