hi..... I copied it using file streams.It worked fine for Linux even for the remote Client. But facing problems in Windows OS.I think it is not able to understand the OID that we are passing. It is giving error while opening the large object. In Windows application how can i pass the large objects. export(conn,objid,"c://home.htm"); Inside this function i am using lobj_fd = lo_open(conn, lobjId, INV_READ); if (lobj_fd < 0) { MessageBox(0,lobjId, "can't open large object",MB_OK); } It is displaying Can't open large object.......also it is not getting the value of "lobjId". I am new to postgres also this .net stuff.Pls help me to proceed further.
