Re: blob and text support for postgres

Hi Alexander,

I had this working a while back, but never managed to get Kevin to  
integrate my patches into the backend. The one disappointment was  
that binary queries never worked to my satisfaction. Unfortunately,  
the C API only allows one text/binary flag per query, so if you want  
mixed text and binary data, you are better off getting the binary  
data as text encoded. Not that big of a deal, but a bit of  
performance killer if you're trying to, say, bulk-load a bunch of  
images into the database.

I'd be happy to try to pick this up again and see if I can get the  
patch to a shape where Kevin's happy with it if there's interest.
