As the person who wrote it :) It was my understanding that PostgreSQL
stores large objects on the filesystem outside of the database tables.
They may be indexed but I thought there was only an identifier within the
table that pointed to the large object.
If this is not true, could someone please describe the actual process, I
can update the article.
