Hey, I'm trying to write some plpython procedures that read binary data from
images on the disk and store it in bytea fields. I'm basically trying to
write a plpython procedure that accepts a varchar and returns a bytea, with
these procedure contents:
data = file(args[0]).read()
return data
(The actual procedure will have more in it, but that's the tricky part). But
the returned data is always severely truncated. Is returning a bytea from
plpython impossible, or is there some way I should escape the data string?
I've tried using the built in encode and decode functions, but they don't
seem to help. If worse comes to worse, I can store the base64 encoded
version, of course, but I'd rather not do that. Any ideas?
Greg
