PostgreSQL Ukládání a vybírání souborů pomocí binárních dat Bytea s knihovnou C libpq

Toto je výsledek správného fungování kódu. Teď mám čas to zveřejnit pro případ, že by to někomu mohlo pomoci. Bylo pro mě trochu těžké pochopit, jak bytea funguje, ale nakonec je to vyřešeno. S pozdravem komunity.
