Re: [ADMIN] Storing images and other data in PostgreSQL from Ms Access

*IIRC*, using bytea type works like a charm for OLE stuff from MS
Access...

Try to link your tables with the ANSI driver, then change the ODBC
source to the UNICODE one. I don't know why, but ISTM that MSAccess
perform a better type mapping with the ANSI driver...at least, TEXT ->
Memo, so I probably linked bytea -> OLE using the ANSI driver when I
tried ?
