Re: pg_dumping large objects

[David Wall <d(dot)wall(at)computer(dot)org>]

Large objects are defined in the DDL as type 'OID'.  Those with various drivers may not know the lo_* calls are being used, since in Java this takes place if you use the SQL BLOB type in JDBC and the field itself is defined as 'OID'.

What is the definition of "large object"?
    

The kind you create with lo_open(), etc.  If you don't do that, you
don't need it.
