Thread: large objects

Hi all,

I've been away from the PG scene for a while now and I haven't been
keeping up with the news.  Does PG support vacuuming of large
objects yet?  If no, is there a method to do this manually from a
cron job or something?

What I have in mind is to build an image library.  File sizes will
probably range from 500K to 2MB.  I would be building the interface
in PHP.  Does anyone know a system that's already been written that
would works good for this, preferably free / GPL, etc.  I want
something designed specifically for this purpose, and not just a
"document" repository type of thing.

Thanks,
-Cedar

Don't bother with large objects; just store the images as 'bytea'
column values.
