Hi I am using postgres 7.3 in macos X and i am not able to insert a
file into a table all i see is the following error

insert into archivo (d_id,path) values (1,
lo_import('/Users/allende/Documents/PDF/Networks/10356399.pdf'));

ERROR:  lo_import: can't open unix file
"/Users/allende/Documents/PDF/Networks/10356399.pdf": Permission denied


I have done it as a regular user and as postgres user and still does
not work.

Any clue, please

But does the user the postmaster runs as have permission to read that file? I
would guess not. If you've looked at the file permissions and think it can then
also check the permissions on the directories leading to that file.
