Thread: Minor hack to support LO string searches

Hi, all, at

    http://www.idyll.org/~t/www-tools/

you'll find an add-on function to PostgreSQL 6.5.3 that allows one to
do string searches through large objects.

It's not a terribly good hack, but it works ;).

I do plan on extending this add-on to support regular expressions Real
Soon.

There are a couple of other software hacks on the same page, including
one that lets you retrieve large objects through the AOLserver database
driver for PostgreSQL.

cheers,

I already have such functions + operator definitions. I could post
them if there is enough interest.
