btherl Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 The bytea type stores binary data. The representation of the data (in the sql statement) is not very compact though. In general, I would recommend storing your media in the filesystem and storing only metadata in the database, unless your media happens to be quite small.
