I've not before needed to store BLOBs in a database, but now I do.
Specifically, I need to store scanned pages as .pdf files within a table.
Looking at the 8.2 docs I see there is a bytea data type that references
the SQL standard of blob (different input format, same functions and
operators). Is bytea the data type I want to use? If so, are there any
special considerations to storing and retrieving those files?
Pointers to more specific docs would be helpful.
