I was following this:
http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/books/aw_pgsql/node96.html
"Because large objects use the local filesystem, users connecting
over a network cannot use lo_import or lo_export()."
Confirmed using psql.
What api/language are you using? Is this possible to do through
DBI? If you don't use lo_import/lo_export, how do you
insert/retrieve images? Pointers to docs are welcomed!
Thanks,
Ed
