I have not been able to figure out how to define a field as a BLOB. I
know you can bytea but from what I have read, that is not the
preferred method to store documents like word, excel, photoshop or the

to setup a BLOB field or quickly tell me how?
bytea should be fine for files up to 1 GB. If you need to access parts
of the file, the large object interface might be more suitable. It
supports files up to 2 GB.
Below is the documentation for the large object interface. The table of
contents includes a link to an example program.
