There is definitely something going on due to the custom ImageT type. I had our DBA switch the ImageT type to just a plain bytea and I was able to do an insertion using my original workaround of InterviewForm.repository. adapter.execute. Trying to do an InterviewForm.create fails.
Unfortunately, upon fetching the record back from Postgres, the form_image property comes back as a Postgres hex-encoded<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/datatype-binary.html#AEN5038>string. I added this method to the model to decode it: def form_image_decoded [form_image[2..-1]].pack("H*") end That's good enough to get me past this hump, for now.
