Hi again :] I am trying to save a binary file to QDB from C#, is there any code example on how to do it? I have created a table with data type binary but now I don't know how to insert / select from it ;[

@Super Richman you can use the ilp library: https://github.com/questdb/net-questdb-client This works in NET core.

Binary type support is limited, mostly for embedded dB use. Only pgwire has support of writing binary values up to a certain configured length

It seems that the solution was to use MemoryStream and this:
using (var command = new NpgsqlCommand("INSERT INTO binary_data VALUES (2,@data)", connection))
                    {
                        command.Parameters.Add("@data", NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlDbType.Bytea).Value = ReadFully(stream);
But I still haven't check that it is readable from db 😜
ok it works
