The error has disappeared. Now it can't write to the object. lo_open
seems to be successful, but lo_write is failing with:
> ERROR: invalid large-object descriptor: 0
0 is a valid value (I checked) but it appears it cannot write to the object. lo_open should return a negative value if
itcannot create the handle
Here is my code:
if (PQstatus(connect1) == CONNECTION_OK) { lo_1 = lo_creat(connect1, INV_READ|INV_WRITE); if (lo_1 > 0) {
lo_1_fd= lo_open(connect1, lo_1, INV_READ|INV_WRITE); written = lo_write(connect1, lo_1_fd, filedata, (size_t)
filelen); if (written == filelen) { printf ("Write successful, %d bytes written.\n", written);
}else if (written < 0) { printf ("Write unsuccessful: %s\n", PQerrorMessage(connect1)); } else {
printf ("Write partially successful. %d of %d bytes written.\n",
written, filelen); } } else { fprintf (stderr, "Unable to create large object: %s\n",
PQerrorMessage(connect1)); }} else { fprintf (stderr, "Unable to open connection: %s\n",
PQerrorMessage(connect1));}
Let me know if it's unreadable, my mail client can do funny things with
indents.
