Re: delphi+adodb+postgresql+bytea

It's been a couple of years since I did anything with Delphi7 and postgres,
but here are some things to try:
I don't think that adodb contains the appropriate driver to correctly
access postgresql. (I could be wrong, however). We ended up using an open
source system we installed into Delphi for the connections to the db. (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zeoslib/ )

Also, we had the same problem with Blob data. We had to forego using the
bytea datatype and used oid specifically for storage of Blob data.

Hope this helps,
Derrick
