Also I've defined function to load images from disk directly inside sql
query:
CREATE FUNCTION bytea_load_from_file(path text) RETURNS BYTEA
AS 'libmylib.so','bytea_load_from_file' LANGUAGE C;
and use it in both cases - for insertion of image and to call function
directly. So, there is no difference it times spent for image loading.
Here is code that I use
1. Insertion example:
test_base=# insert INTO images_meta(label,data) VALUES('original',
bytea_load_from_file('/tmp/test.jpg'));
2. Direct call:
test_base=#select imscale(bytea_load_from_file('/tmp/test.jpg'),128);
I realize, that insertion require more operations to perform (insert
initial image, fire after insert trigger, insert thumbnail, fire trigger
again after insertion thumbnail). But these operations not seems very
hard.
Size of image, that I use for tests is about 2MB. That is why 3sec. it
is very long time to process it.
