Hi, with exposed what data type https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed/wiki/DataTypes should I use for retrieving bytea from postgresql, is the binary type used for this

Generally the dialect is going to guide you on the intended / available types.In this case, Blob and Binary types are declared for bytea.

So your Table objects will want to use binary or blob for declaration from which your going to get a Column<ByteArray> or Column<ExposedBlob> respectively.

Hey Phil, thanks for your response looks like binary is what I need
