Re: file in posgres

Ok I'm using the EMS PostgreSQL Manager Pro utility to export my data into a
XML, the thing is that when I got a bytea field, which i use to save files,
when i tried to import the XML I have just create the file is corrupt.
I believe it has something to do with the XML encoding I'using or something
like that???
Any help please.
The bytea field I'm using it to save PDF file!!!!!
