Обсуждение: Querying a BYTEA datatype

Hi All,

Need an urgent help on the following:

How can  in PostgreSQL we handle quries on the content of bytea data type?

Like if we want to do some search on the basis of bytea content, is there a way?

you have two options that i know of:
1. convert to text and do text processing
2. make a c function that processes binary and link it to the server.
this will probably give you the best performance
