hi, We are storing the Icons/IMages in the database as Large Objects using lo_import functions. (1) what would be the return type if i want to return a large object ( XYZ.gif) to the remote client (GUI) using stored procedure. Can anyone give an example please? Are there any size limitations i need to consider when returning Large Object using procedures? (2) A statement from documentation: "PostgreSQL 7.1 introduced a mechanism (nicknamed "TOAST") that allows data values to be much larger than single pages. This makes the large object facility partially obsolete." How do i TOAST my data stored as Large Object?
You don't. You would change you schema and application to store the images in bytea columns instead.
