[fpc-devel] PostgreSQL 8.4.5 Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and bytea=blobs up to 1 gigabyte

[Andrew Brunner]

Looking to get some resolution to an immediate problem with postgres
component I have...

Field definitions for blob can be mapped to bytea and enable support
for blob data as I am pretty sure byte for byte output/input would
suffice.  Some debugging may be needed to make sure we don't need
escape/unescape on string literals.  I'm hoping for a quick fix.

As is right now, the postgres DBMS system if offline limits b/c I
happen to rely heavliy on Field/Paramter).AsBlob:=[] in my code for
arrays[n] of Int64 where each element is 8 bytes long.  MySQL did this
flawlessly.  What's it gonna take to remove the restriction and map
the field to bytea?
