Re: Help : insert a bytea data into new table

here is example

table name is "mail":
column | type
-------------------------
sender |char
subject |char
content |bytea

I want copy some record into new table 'mail_new'.

sql:
create table mail_new as select * from mail sender='dennis'

result has an error:
operator does not exist: text || bytea

But if my sql statement has no column "content"
the sql works.
sql:
create table mail_new as select sender,subject from mail sender='dennis'
