I can tell you that the large objects that are getting chucked into the database are generally under 1MB in size (each), as they're mostly M$ documents. There are a few that are between 1MB & 10MB but I don't think there's anything larger than 10MB. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
