I am running REDHAT 5.5 64 bit with PostgreSQL 8.4.7 64 bit. I am trying to load a binary file into a bytea column into a table without any luck from psql. On the linux server a script is looking for a file and if found would create a record into a table that contains a ID, date of load and the file in the bytea column. table looks like the following table x (ID number, load_date date, image bytea ) from psql I have tried several ways including creating a function to read a file without any success but basically I want to do something like the following from a bash shell psql <connection information> -c "insert into x (ID, load_date, image) values ($PID,clock_timestamp()::timestamp(0), copy from '/tmp/$FN' with binary);" Any help would be greatly appreciated John -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
