Hello all,
I have a table with a VARCHAR column that I need to convert to a BYTEA.
How do I cast VARCHAR to BYTEA?
The following doesn't seem to work as it yields the 'cannot cast varchar to
bytea' error message:

On the same topic, how do I do the reverse, that
Thank you, Tom.
Yes, the exact bytes in the varchar datum (without encoding) is what I would
like to become the bytes in the BYTEA.
So, how do I create a cast WITHOUT FUNCTION as you mention below? I assume
plpgsql is required, right?
Is there anyway this can be done in a VIEW without having

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
