> > Here's a revised patch. Changes:
> >
> > 1. Now outputs '\\' instead of '\134' when using encode(bytea, 'escape')
> > Note that I ended up leaving \0 as \000 so that there are no ambiguities
> > when decoding something like, for example, \0123.
> >
> > 2. Fixed bug in byteain which allowed input values which were not valid
> > octals (e.g. \789), to be parsed as if they were octals.

> Here's rev 2 of the bytea string support patch. Changes:
>
> 1. Added missing declaration for MatchBytea function
> 2. Added PQescapeBytea to fe-exec.c
> 3. Applies cleanly on cvs tip from this afternoon
>
> I'm hoping that someone can review/approve/apply this before beta starts, so
> I guess I'd vote (not that it counts for much) to delay beta a few days :-)
