We don't have a tool right now but one could be easily written.   It's not
base-64 but you don't have to worry about escaping if you use our object
model.

The easiest thing to do would be to create a small perl script that would
import the files to the database, using what we have in scripts/file.pl as
a starting point.  There are a few framework gotchas that will be
eliminated in 1.4 in this area, but for now I think most of the code would
be a little bit of boilerplate.

The larger issue is likely to be interface design, to be honest.

Pulling up the Python docs in case you want to do it in Python instead:
http://packages.python.org/psycopg2/usage.html

Take a look at the section for Bytea:

mypic = open('picture.png', 'rb').read()
curs.execute("insert into blobs (file) values (%s)",
    (psycopg2.Binary(mypic),))

Our stored procedure is file__attach_part (you can look at this in pgAdmin).

If you'd like more help on this side, the development list might be better.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
