Обсуждение: BLOB type

Has PostgreSQL the data type such ORACLE BLOB type ?

(BLOB: A binary large object. Maximum size is 4 gigabytes.)

I have about 200-300 binary files (with size less then 1-2 MB),
which I need storage in DB.

bytea is for storing binary data.

Can I use UPDATE or INSERT to store data this type, or I must
use lo_import or lo_export ONLY?

for ex.

%insert into test (col) ('<--- binary data --->');

Is it possible ?
