Thanks for your reply. The following statement fails as described. It
works on my machine and doesnt work on his. Doss is the file name; it
is in the right place, a text field; the next '\\377wpc is data from
the file which should be an oid processed as a stream.
DEBUG: query: INSERT INTO images(imgname, imgoid)
VALUES('doss','\\377WPC^\\012\\000\\000\

The following line show a successful upload; the second value is the oid
of the image loaded to postgresql
DEBUG: query: INSERT INTO images(imgname, imgoid) VALUES('cap.sxw',16676)

The other machine can load strings into pgsql, just not bytea blobs.
