Hi Jan,

Thanks for the suggestion. I should have mentioned in my original
message that as per your suggestion and the suggestion in the
documentation, I have tried escaping the backslashes. When I do this, I
get the error:

   ERROR: invalid input syntax for type bytea

I tried also doing

   INSERT INTO myTable VALUES (...,
E'\\x15\\x1C\\x2F\\x00\\x02...'::bytea, ...) ;


but get the same errors.

Lee
