I forgot to send my reply to John to the list. Here it is now: Hi John, the JDBC driver has a property called "compatible" that influences how binary data is diplayed. See http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/80/connect.html and http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/80/binary-data.html You can change the property in SQuirreL's alias dialog. (When you changed the property value make sure to leave the table cell before clicking OK, sorry for this little bug.) If you still can't get it to work you may send me a script that creates a table and inserts some data in a binary field. I'll check if I can reproduce the problem.
