[Pypgsql-users] unQuoteBytea

[Ben L. <pyp...@zu...>]

The pgUnquoteBytea function in libpq is rather slow (it uses scanf). Noticing 
that the pyPgSQL version was much faster I lifted the code and put it into 
libpq.

Do you mind if I submit the change to the libpq developer with full 
acknowledgement that the code came from pyPgSQL?

Thanks,

Ben Lamb.

BTW Unescaping a 200Kb JPEG stored in a PostgreSQL bytea field took 1.5 mins 
before and 0.09 seconds afterwards on a 2Ghz machine!
