I use two simple plpgsql functions to convert strings to and from bytea:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION text2bytea(text)
RETURNS bytea AS
$BODY$
begin
return $1;
end;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
and
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION bytea2text(bytea)
RETURNS text AS
$BODY$
begin
return $1;
end;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
Kind regards
Markus
