HI. I want to store an array of floats size about 50,000. My first Idea was to store them in a column 'float[]', but using JDBC and java it takes minutes to convert the data and store it. My next try was to use a column BYTEA and store the data as 'byte[]' and that worked. Inspecting the data. Looking at clientside the data is OK, but if I do that on the serverside wit PLPERL I found out that there is a big increase in datasize and I found a lot of escape (\0)characters. Is it possible to avoid these characters and store the bitearray as it is or do I have to use another columntype or storing method.
