Are you doing a:
  $stream = $pdo->pgsqlLOBOpen($oid, 'r');

when you are trying to read the object out, or are you expecting it from
the SELECT columns?  Large objects are not in the table - they are kind
of files off to the side of the database with structured mechanisms for
referencing them.

If you want to store the data actually *in* the table then you need to
use a different approach (i.e. data type of bytea for the column), but
large objects may well be more efficient in any case.

Cheers,
                    Andrew.
