<para>
<function>pg_escape_bytea</function> escapes string for
bytea datatype. It returns escaped string.
</para>
<note>
<para>
When you <literal>SELECT</literal> a bytea type, PostgreSQL returns octal byte values
prefixed with '\' (e.g. \032). Users are supposed to convert back to
binary format manually.
</para>
<para>
This function requires PostgreSQL 7.2 or later. With PostgreSQL
7.2.0 and 7.2.1, bytea values must be cast when you enable
multi-byte support. i.e. <literal>INSERT INTO test_table (image)
VALUES ('$image_escaped'::bytea);</literal> PostgreSQL 7.2.2 or
later does not need a cast. The exception is when the client and backend
character encoding does not match, and there may be multi-byte
stream error. User must then cast to bytea to avoid this error.
