To include large objects (like images) in the database you need to use
BLOBs, I think the type for postgresql is "bytea". Check the docs. I seem to
remember that you inserted them by means of "lo_import" and extracted them
via "lo_export".
I am designing an application that needs images (who doesn't?) but I have
decided to store the images separately as usual images (gif, jpg) and store
in the database the link to those images, so I read the link from the
database and the php script loads the image from the link. I don't have any
special requirement for the security of the images, that is, if you knew the
link yourself you could load it in the browser but that is not important.
