Remarks

This method is the inverse PgsqlConnection.binaryEscape. taking the safe representation of binary data in the database and converting it back to the original binary data (eg an image of PDF document).

Note since more binary data to be stored in the database should be stored in a BYTEA column, this method is unlikely to be needed. Whtebeam automatically converts all data fields of type BYTEA to a Binary object in a result set.

This would be useful if for some reason binary data is stored in another textual field, say a VARCHAR field.

This is a class method - don't call aConnection.binaryUnEscape(), instead call PgsqlConnection.binaryUnEscape().
