Re: Prepared Statements

Thank-very much for your help Gerhard and Karsten. I've just implemented the 
code suggested by Gerhard and it does exactly what I require.

It can see it should work with the Bytea stuff but I need to make some more 
changes to by app before I can test that.

Thanks again,

Ben.

P.S. If anyone is writing web apps I can highly recommend the combination 
Postgres, pyPgSQL and mod_python. It runs extremely quickly on four year old 
hardware.
