I want to do the import from the psql client. I try to find something like that:
INSERT INTO "controller" (notes, enabled, diagram, ...) VALUES ('Example controller', TRUE, load_svg('controller.svg'), ...)
with diagram of type TEXT, and diagram field correctly escaped.
Hmm - I don't know of anything which can do this for you. It'd be difficult since by the time load_svg() is parsed and executed the statement is server-side not client-side.
Ten lines of Perl/Python should do it just fine though. IIRC svg is just xml, so the only thing you should need to escape is the single-quote
