bytea question

Hi,

I like to store binary data in columns. Here are my questions:

What SQL type is used to identify bytea columns ?

Are there samples on how to store that binary data or retrieve it ?

Is there a way to identify the data type inside that binary data - like MIME type ?

Thanks

Lothar
