Thread: bytea vs large object in version 8

If speed (add/get) is the only concern, image files could be big (~10M),
and database only serves as storage. In the postgresql 8, which type
(bytea vs large object) is the preferred one? Is it true, in general,
that bytea inserts is slower?

Thanks.

I think bytea is a little bit slower then large object.
