Tom Lane c59b8ba6cd Update examples for string-related functions.
In the example for decode(), show the bytea result in hex format,
since that's now the default.  Use an E'' string in the example for
quote_literal(), so that it works regardless of the
standard_conforming_strings setting.  On the functions-for-binary-strings
page, leave the examples as-is for readability, but add a note pointing out
that they are shown in escape format.  Per comments from Thom Brown.

Also, improve the description for encode() and decode() a tad.

Backpatch to 9.0, where bytea_output was introduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
