Hi Friends,

I am running Postgres 7.3.4 on RH Linux 7.2.

I am migrating MS SQL DB to Postgres DB. I have tables with columns of data=
 type 'Image' in the MS SQL database.=20
IF I choose 'bytea' datatype, I am afraid it may lead to poor performance o=
f the database (which I read from the manual). In this case what is the bes=
t data type to use.

Please suggest me. The explanation of using LOB objects in a table and to w=
rite them with image is not very clear in the documentation. Can any one se=
nd me any link or white paper or examples about it.

Thanks in advance.

Kumar
