I'm using the latest JDBC driver (8.1-407) with PostgreSQL 8.1.3 (on Windows) and PostgreSQL 8.1.4 (on Debian). I've
searchedthe archives, and found several applicable thread that were never responded to or apparently resolved:<br

I'musing JDBC to store (binary) files in a database, and have tried storing the content in a BYTEA column and using the
LargeObject API and storing a OID column in my table. I am able to upload various files into the database, but when I
downloadthem the 0xFF characters in the uploaded files have all been stripped. I've looked for a configuration
setting,but don't see anything of use. (The database or client character encodings should not apply to binary
data.)<br/><br /> Any suggestions? Is this a bug? (If it is a bug, it seems hard to believe that nobody has run
acrossthis.)<br /><br /> Thanks in advance!<br /><br /> Randall<br /><br /><br />
