OK, I really need a solution to this quite quickly. It's a simple enough
script (posted earlier) so if this is something I cannot do with DBD::Pg on a
windows platform I can do it with something else. If that's the case what's
the best thing to do it with? PHP? I don't have control of the IIS server
they are running this on and I doubt very much they have PHP running on it.
Is the only way to connect to postgres with ASP via the ODBC driver? How will
that handle the bytea field?
