Subject: bytea not recognized by JDBC (7.0.2)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I have a problem with JDBC (postgresql.jar) and Postgres 7.0.2 . The
client is under Windows NT with JDK 1.3, and Postgres is running on
SuSE Linux 6.3 (kernel 2.2.13).

Here is my table :

  create table TRANSACTIONS
  (
    APPLICATION_SOFTWARE_RELEASE   bytea                  not null,
  );

I insert a row (using JDBC) with success :

  insert into TRANSACTIONS(APPLICATION_SOFTWARE_RELEASE) values('0005');

I select a row (with JDBC) :

  select APPLICATION_SOFTWARE_RELEASE from TRANSACTIONS;

 and I get the following error :

  Error while processing order (select APPLICATION_SOFTWARE_RELEASE from
  TRANSACTIONS ) : No class found for bytea.

How can I select a "bytea" field ?
Is there a workaround for this, or a patch ?
Is this a bug of the JDBC driver (or a not implemented feature) ?

I have looked at the mailing-list but didn't find the answer to my
problem.

Regards,
