Use bytea for a datatype. PostgreSQL can comfortably handle 50MB's worth
of data and uncomfortably handle 1GB if you have enough RAM per tuple.

You will need to properly escape the data to do the insertion, but the
documentation (for DBI, PHP, Java, and PostgreSQL for the others) all
clearly explain the steps to be taken.

You mean "handle 50MB's worth of data" per tuple or as a whole ?

Same question for 1GB.

this is not really clear...

Per tuple. There is no practical limit to how much it can handle as a
whole.
