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

No need to do it. On the web I found a article which states to use the data type 'lo' rather than 'bytea' and after refreshing the link works well. No problem faced. tested with MS access 2003 and 2007. Thanks to community.

*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 ?
