Hi,

I would like to allow web site user to fill a field and for that i would
need a large varchar()...maybe something around 100.000 characters.
i guess that VARCHAR can not hold so many character and that i should turn
to bytea.
Am I right or is there some other possibility ?

i'm asking that because i've seen that bytea has some issues to store non
ASCII characters like from UNICODE andSlovak language...

so how can i store central europe characters (UNICODE) into BYTEA field ?

thx,

Alain
