Hi, I'd like to know what the official recommendation is on which binary
datatype to use for common small-binary size use.

I'm working with the Open For Business (www.ofbiz.org) framework, which by
default maps binary data, such as shipping label images, into OID field
types. In general, the data is far less than a gigabyte in size. Is it
strongly recommended by the postgresql community to store things like this
in bytea format as of 8.0?

Thanks,
