Hi there,

How Binary data is inserted in the database?

I want to put the binary data in the database as a record.

Which data type I should use?

Thanks,
Namrata.

Bytea. Its not very documented, but you can use it.

create table foo(
  a int4,
  v bytea)

insert into foo values (1, '\001\002\\000');

note the double backslash for null character.
