'k, I believe what the client is wanting to know is what the storage type would be on the backend, that the would BLOB/CLOB map to ... bytea?

Marc,

If you are specifically talking about the JDBC types BLOB and CLOB those
classes use the server LargeObject interface.  If you are speaking
generically about support for large objects then the jdbc driver
supports the bytea datatype for the get/setBinaryStream() methods.  So
the answer is "it depends", on how you use the driver.  The specifics
for supporting binary objects are documented in a section on this topic
in the postgresql jdbc driver documentation chapter.

Thanks,
--Barry

Just been asked this, and I'm not sure of the answer ... based on
reading the docs on bytea, I'm assuming that it is such, but can someone
please confirm?

Thanks ...
