When trying to INSERT on Postgres (9.1) to a bytea column, via E'' escaped strings, I get the strings rejected because they're not UTF8. I'm confused, since bytea isn't for strings but for binary. What causes this? How do I fix this? (I know that escaped strings is not the best way for binary data, but this is what I'm stuck with for now - it's a legacy system which I need to maintain.) -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
