Silly little question, but is there something to input/output hex
escaped data into a bytea, ala
CREATE TABLE a (lob BYTEA);
INSERT into a (lob) VALUES ('\x01\x02\x00\x03\x04');
INSERT into a (lob) VALUES ('\x01\x00\x02\x00\x03\x04');
It seems to work (doesn't error), but when selecting the data back out,
it is truncated at the first \x00, ala
SELECT lob FROM a;
lob
----------
\001\002
\001
SELECT octet_length(lob) from a;
octet_length
--------------
2
1
Why does this happen? Also, can I get the output in similar hex form?
