Re: RES: Problems retrieving data from bytea field

Iran,

In 7.2 the jdbc driver does the character set translation. But for
performance reasons this was changed in 7.3 to have the server do
character set translation. That is why it works for you with the 7.2
driver but not the 7.3 driver. But the underlying problem is still a
server bug. No it is true that the driver could work around the bug by
reverting to the 7.2 behavior, but I would rather have resources spent
on fixing the bug, than doing workarounds.

thanks,
--Barry
