Tsunakawa-san, thanks for your advice.
I understand that C type definition of client-side bytea is not constrained by the standard BLOB.

What should I do next?
For now, I attach a patch that is removed noise(pgindent/typedef.list).

P.S.
The patch does not support ECPG.bytea in sqltype of "struct sqlvar_struct" because of compatibility.
