Hi Edwin,
it depends on the components u use in Delphi. Normally Pictures and
ohter binary data is stored in the FieldType oid. I noticed that bytea
isn't mapped as TBlobField in Delphi in most components. I also don't
know if you are able to use the PG-Functions lo_import(), lo_export()
and so on with bytea. I use oid with Delphi and that works fine for me.
In Delphi you can use Procedures like TBlobField(MyField).LoadFromFile.
Post a Picture to the Server will look like this :
DataSet.Insert;
DataSet.BlobField.LoadFromFile('MyPictureFile');
DataSet.Post;
Now your pitcure is on the Server. You are also able to use standard
DBPicture-components...
