Hi, Am I correct in impression that the only way you can store binary data (meaning data that could have all control characters including \0 in it) is using Large Objects interface? I have tried bytea and text, both truncate string on receipt of \0... Also, what's physical storage size of a LOB? Does it always occupy entire page? Or they are bunched together in rows? I'm storing mostly small (<4096 bytes) strings but they are all binary. I'd like to know what's the best way to do that. Thanks -alex ************
