A few months ago, I blogged about the difficulty of getting psql to put a bytea datum into a file. See <http://people.planetpostgresql.org/andrew/index.php?/archives/196-Clever-trick-challenge.html>. Today I ran into the problem again, and it struck me that we could fairly easily have a new command to handle this, called, say, bcopy. So it would look like:

   \bcopy (select generate_bytea()) to foo.bin


Thoughts?


cheers
