You need to use the binary parameter/result format (at the protocol
level). The current JDBC driver uses the binary format for bytea
parameters, but the text format for resultsets. psql uses the text
format for both, I believe.

I assume you mean with an earlier version of the driver? Earlier driver
versions used the text format for both parameters and results, and also
used a large amount of temporary heap space for large bytea parameters.
You may want to look at using the large-object interface if you are
dealing with extremely large data; it allows random read/write access to
the data without transferring it all across the wire in one go.
