Thanks Adrian , i think it works but still facing problem while loading
Mysql ( MEDIUMBLOB ) column into PG ( BYTEA ) column :

test=# \encoding LATIN1;
test=# copy jobs from '/tmp/test.csv' with DELIMITER AS  ','  QUOTE '"'
NULL AS '\N' ESCAPE E'\\' CSV;
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type bytea
CONTEXT:  COPY jobs, line 259, column wf_instance:
"\0$0000000-120805203721153-oozie-oozi-W\0\0)<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><..."
test=#

wf_instance is single mediumblob column in the table.

Cheers
