Hi , All! Could someone clarify me  : When I want to store BLOB's internally in database (for example jpeg )should I use bytea or OID? Is OID something like BFILE in Oracle 8i? If both are appropriate for internal BLOB why I can't use update image set picture=lo_import('Myfile') where image_code='blablabla' ; with bytea column type but only with OID column type?  And one more thing:Where is function byteain documented? TIA,Andrew.
