I would suggest you join the Perl DBI
mailing list and ask your question there. There are some quite capable people
in that group who could help you troubleshoot this issue. It’s called dbi-users@xxxxxxxx. Look at http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=dbi-users,
where it tells you how to subscribe. -Will From:
pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kynn Jones I'm trying to use Perl's DBD::Pg module to import a file as a large
object. For this I'm using the following: my $oid = $dbh->func( "/absolute/path/to/file",
'lo_import' );
When I do this, a new record is added to pg_largeobject, with a proper-looking non-null loid, but the data field remains empty, and the variable $oid above gets a return value of undef, i.e. the call to func fails. No error warning is ever emitted, as far as I can tell. ($dbh->errstr returns undef.) FWIW, the file passed as the first argument is world-readable, and the full path to it is world-accessible.
I've read the documentation for Perl's DBI and DBD::Pg modules, but I can't find any information that will enable me to troubleshoot/debug this further. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
TIA!
Kynn
