Hi again David and Sean and thanks for your help,
Sean you were correct!! huray for you!! you dont know how much time i spent
on that problem (beside of all things other maillists also).
I dont understand why they dont write anything at the manual on the better
memory usage that the large objects interface have with other languages as
PHP... they just write there that you can upload a sum of 2GB instead of the
new TOAST which can hold 1GB which is more then enough to 99.99% of the
projects....
Anyway thanks alot again for both of you,
Ben-Nes Yonatan
