mssql to postgres problems with bytea help needed - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi all,

I've successfully converted a huge mssql ddl to postgres 8.1.9 - I
could upgrade if need be. We run both db's for our app depending on
the customer. We have a new feature, storing serialized java objects
in the db, and I'm having trouble with on this insert:

INSERT INTO
"FUND_ASSET_DTO_BINARY"
("fundAssetDTOBinaryID",OBJ_VERSION,"binaryFundAssetDTO")VALUES(1,0,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

When inserting, I get: ERROR:  syntax error at or near "xACED0005
<snip>

I've been googling / reading the docs and I tried several things that
have not worked, but thought I'd post here while I'm trying solutions.
Any ideas? I'm open to any cast or modifying the insert to use psql
functions, etc.

Thanks!
