Unfortunately django doesn't presently support postgres' bytea out of box. There is a patch in the tracker, though I don't know if it works with recent django: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2417 One workaround for storing chunks of binary data is base64 encoding into a text field, but that doesn't help you if you're trying to wrap an existing postgresql database that happens to use bytea, and is not exactly a high-performance solution (the better data integrity over fs and ease of manipulation* might be worth it for you though, and postgresql text (and bytea) fields work without problem to quite large sizes (1GB)) * The "X-SendFile" API can allow you to use django-level code to determine permissioning for filesystem files served through the webserver though. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
