I would think a data type with the likes of ?binary? (bytea?) would be more appropriate.  It?s like trying to upload an image via FTP in ASCII format ? it never comes out the same the other end.

Hi,

   Please explain me is there any difference if i load my files(like gif or any images files) into the data base as text format?

Bcoz,I have loaded my image files in a text format into the database and when i exported it into my local file system the content of the original file(i.e. imported file into DB) and the exported file from the DB are different.

What is the wrong i did?In which format i have to load my file.Is it only for image files or for all types of files(like js,asp,htm etc)

 

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Sandhya
