I would like to store some images in my Postgres database. These will
all be thumbnails, limited to 4k or 5k. I know that PG has an 8k row
limit, but this should be fine, because there's not much else in the
row. Which data type could I use to store them, and is there a
performance cost for having rows that are this big? The system will
be using PG7.1, btw.

Thanks
