Jark Wu commented on FLINK-27212:
---------------------------------
>From my point of view, casting string to binary should use the UTF8 encoding.
It seems PG will inspect the format of the character string. If it is hex
representation, PG will decode the string into bytes using hex encoding.
Otherwise, PG will decode the string using UTF8 encoding.
{code}
postgres=# create table t (a varchar(20));
CREATE TABLE
postgres=#
postgres=# insert into t values ('\x00011c57'), ('00011c57');
INSERT 0 2
postgres=#
postgres=# select a, pg_typeof(a), a::bytea from t;
a | pg_typeof | a
------------+-------------------+--------------------
\x00011c57 | character varying | \x00011c57
00011c57 | character varying | \x3030303131633537
