Hello list,

That's the question, what is the equivalent data type of the msSQL image
data type ?

TIA,

You can use 'bytea' for binary data. You can use 'text' and base64
encode the image before insertion. You can, of course, create your own
 'image' type using CREATE TYPE.  You could also alias the 'bytea'
type via CREATE DOMAIN.
