Subject: binary insert with JDBC
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Can anyone tell me how to insert binary data into
a postgres table using JDBC?  What type field should I use?
Most importantly, how do I create an SQL statement with
binary data?  I thought this could be done with a 
PreparedStatement and setBytes() but it doesn't seem to
be implemented in postgres.PreparedStatement.  Is there
some way to encode the binary value into the SQL string
(like hex encoding or something)?

I looked through the docs but couldn't find anything
related to this, but it seems like it might be a common
problem.

Thanks,
Sean
