* How To Get Bytea Data Instead Of Its Oid

Greetings!
I must have missed lesson 1 of postgresql!
create table test (c1 text,c2 bytea);
Then, I probably have successfullyi nserted several records into test using C++Builder. Now I am trying to retrieve back the binary data in c2 I just inserted. However, the SQL statement issued by both C++Builder and psql:
SELECT * FROM test LIMIT 1
returns, I guess, the OID of c2 instead of the binary data to which the OID points.
What is the correct SQL syntax for C++Builder for bytea?
Regards,
--

I don't think so...
regression=# create table test (c1 text,c2 bytea);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into test values ('some text', 'some binary data \\000\\001');
INSERT 284058 1
regression=# select * from test;
c1 | c2
-----------+---------------------------
some text | some binary data \000\001
(1 row)
I see no OID here.
Perhaps you should show us an example of what you are doing, rather than
your interpretation of what's going wrong.
regards, tom lane
