Re: Bytea question with \208

Thanks,

My bad, the table I was looking (8.7) at had the first column as the
decimal representation and I did notice that the numbers changed as they
moved right.

Is there a way for bytea to take a hex number, or do I need to convert the
bit stream to octal numbers?

Thanks again,
Woody

Aren't those escapes octal?
