How do I cast VARCHAR to BYTEA?
I think it would work to create a cast WITHOUT FUNCTION, assuming that the semantics you want is that the exact bytes in the varchar datum become the bytes in the bytea (no encoding or backslashing conversions).
Are pg_escape_bytea and pg_unescape_bytea available from the backend as well as libpq?
