Is there a way that I can find out the size of a bytea record? I am storing
images into bytea fields and I just want to know the size of the image that
it has been saved in the field

Thank you Michael. I am using the BIT_LENGTH function which seems to return
the size in bits of the stored blob

Do you need the length in bits? If not, then one of the other
functions in the documentation I referenced might be closer to
what you seek.
