BLOBs

Hi, everyone,

Browsing through the online manual, I didn't find anything related to
BLOBs, but I know there must be BLOBs since many people are asking about
it on the list and there is a pg_fetch_object() in PHP for Postgres.
Could anyone points me an URL where I can look it up?  Thanks.

PHP's pg_fetch_object() actually just turns a normal row into an object
using the fieldnames as names for the instance variables. I couldn't find
anything about BLOBs in the PostgreSQL reference, but have a look at the
pg_lo****() functions in PHP, they are used for interacting with BLOBs
