Re: Save and load jpg in a PostgreSQL database

Hey Fernando,

There is no pg_escape_bytea() in PostgreSQL. It seem like a function of some
PL, like PHP or Tcl... So, the command that you found on a forum is
incorrect.
As I understand, you want to upload a file from your (client) filesystem to
the
PostgreSQL database (server) and store it in the column of type bytea of
some
table, right?
First, you need to read the file from your file system.
Next, if you want to transmit it as is (i.e. in a binary format), you don't
need any
escaping. But not all client libraries supports transmission in binary
format. If you
need (want) to transmit you binary data in the text format, you must escape
it
(e.g. by using pg_escape_bytea() or another function of library you use).
Please,
follow the documentation of the library / framework that you are use.
