I'm not sure what you are getting at here. The only data type in PostgreSQL that has a notion of null bytes is bytea, and bytea prints out null bytes in unambigious form. Note that printing out a space will lose the null byte on restore, so that solution does not seem satisfactory. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
