Anybody know what the Postgresql equivalent to a Sybase varbinary data type
is?  I have a package that provides ddl to store a 40 byte/char? varbinary
column in a table and it is failing against postrgresql.

Thanks for any help and if more info is need to answer, please let me know.

Sounds like "bytea" to me - or have you rejected that?

Thanks for the response.  I'll look into re-running the ddl using the bytea
datatype the next time I perform the setup I'm using. (I used a Sybase SQL
Anywhere db in the meantime to get me back on track with the task at hand).

Thanks again,

Bill
