Here's a patch adding documentation for the PQescapeBytea function to
...
libpq.sgml
I was trying (but gave up) to cross-reference back to the input escape
table in the User's Guide, but could not get the documentation to
compile with a cross-book xref (missing IDREF error). Can a cross-book
xref be done?

I've created a new section to func.sgml, "Binary String Functions and
...
Operators", plagiarized shamelessly from the "String Functions and
Operators" section. There were enough differences that it made sense (at
least to me) to give this its own section instead of cramming it in with
normal string functions. This way I could also make the examples
relevant, which is particularly important for bytea.
One thing I think worth mentioning: while documenting the trim()
function I realized that I never implemented the bytea equivalent of
rtrim and ltrim. Therefore, the 'leading' and 'trailing' forms of trim,
available with text, are not available with bytea (I'd be happy to
correct this, but since it would require an initdb, I guess not until
7.3) -- the submitted doc accurately reflects this.
I will look for other areas of the docs that need mention of bytea, but
any guidance would be much appreciated.
--
Here's a second bytea documentation patch. This one significantly
expands the "Binary Data" section added by Bruce recently.

Tweak parser so that there is a defined representation for datatypes
...
bpchar, bit, numeric with typmod -1. Alter format_type so that this
representation is printed when the typmod is -1. This ensures that
tables having such columns can be pg_dump'd and reloaded correctly.
Also, remove the rather useless and non-SQL-compliant default
precision and scale for type NUMERIC. A numeric column declared as
such (with no precision/scale) will now have typmod -1 which means
that numeric values of any precision/scale can be stored in it,
without conversion to a uniform scale. This seems significantly
more useful than the former behavior. Part of response to bug #513 .
