I'm afraid you'll have to preprocess the file to convert the 0x00 into \000. Obviously, if you're inserting this file into a text field or similar, the data will be truncated at that point; if you want the data after the NUL to be preserved, you'll need a bytea field (or change the NUL to something else). -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
