OK, grand - but you still haven't said what problems you're running into. We can't really help until you give a bit more detail. Have you read up on the bytea type in the docs? When you do a text-format dump, the data in bytea columns is dumped in escaped octal, so you need to handle this somehow when reloading into MySQL.
