PostgreSQL Salva e seleziona i file utilizzando i dati binari di Bytea con C libpq

Questo è il risultato del corretto funzionamento del codice. Ho un po' di tempo per postarlo ora nel caso possa aiutare qualcuno. È stato un po' difficile per me capire come funziona Bytea, ma alla fine è stato risolto. Cordiali saluti alla comunità.
