Hello!

I was playing with 2.20rc2 and found that it's being hit by a bug in 
current version (1.43) of DBD driver for postgresql. The driver sends 
broken SQL statements when they contain data of BYTEA type. This breakes 
bugzilla installation process and probably prevents it from working at 
all. There is a fix for this bug (patch for quote.c) at the bottom of 
http://gborg.postgresql.org/pipermail/dbdpg-general/2005-August/001883.html

I suppose it might be a good thing to mention this bug (and a fix?) in 
bugzilla docs, because 2.20 is the first version that supports postgresql 
and this bug may confuse those who will try bugzilla with postgresql.

p.s. I'm not on the list, so pleas keep my email on Cc or To line in case 
you want to reply me.
