There are two methods to store binary data in pg and they have different
access methods and performance characteristics. Bytea data is expected to
be shorter and is returned in whole with a ResultSet by the server. For
larger data you want to use large objects which return a pointer (oid) to
the actual data which you can then stream from the server at will.
This page describes some of the differences between the two and
demonstrates using a pg specific api to access large objects, but
getBlob/setBlob will work just fine.
