Обсуждение: Binary Large Data on Postgres

Hello,

i want to store my binary data such as Images,PDFs etc. in a database.
In Postgres doesn't exists the data type BLOB.
So i Have to store it an text field, haven't i ?
How long can a text field be?

Use datatype OID for blobs.  If you also use JDBC, then use the
setBytes()/getBytes() method to store/retrieve the blob.
