Including -admin back in the discussion... Well, binary data in XML needs to be uuencoded afaik, and of course you'll want to put it in a CDATA block. PostgreSQL doesn't have any XML support built-in, but there's at least one project that has stuff to help deal with XML. I think it's in pgFoundry, though there may be some stuff in contrib as well. -----Original Message----- From: Alain Rodriguez Arias [mailto:alainrod@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 3:10 PM To: Jim Nasby Subject: Re: [ADMIN] file in posgres Naybe you missunderstood me, i need to export all the data of a table into an XML format, and I'm afraid to have any trouble with the bytea data type that I use to store files.

No reason to do that in the database... though if you end up storing XML you should just stick it in a text field. -- Jim C.
