Bytes Type

A sequence of bytes.

Bytes cannot be cast into any other type. They represent raw data.

There’s a special byte literal:

db> 

SELECT b'Hello, world';

{b'Hello, world'}

db> 

SELECT b'Hello,\x20world\x01';

{b'Hello, world\x01'}

There are also some generic functions that can operate on bytes:

db> 

SELECT contains(b'qwerty', b'42');

{false}
