Huh ???  isn't that point of using bytea or text datatypes.

I could have sworn bytea does not use large object interface it uses 
TOAST or have i gone insane

Many people encode the binary data in Base64  and store as text data 
type??  Then never have to deal with escaping  bytea data type. Which i 
have found can be a pain
