If you really need the large object size, you have to open the large object with pg_lo_open(), seek to the end with pg_lo_seek($loid, 0, PGSQL_SEEK_END), and then get the position with pg_lo_tell($loid). This will return the number of bytes in the large object. But if you find yourself doing this a lot, you might be better off storing the file size (as calculated when uploaded) in another field in the database record. > Any ideas?

There is probably some advantage to using it but I don't know what it might be.
