I am using C++ and trying to programatically import a large object from the client side into a server. I am using QT and, for the server side I can pass a command like: insert into x values('x1',lo_import('c:/temp/x1.txt')); Which works. However this will not work from the client side. For the client side there is a psql function \lo_import that works if I run psql and do something like: \lo_import('c:/temp/x1.txt') insert into x values('x1',:LASTOID); I understand the function \lo_import first sends the data to the server and then creates the blob returning the oid of it. How can I do this in an SQL query? Do I have to write a function on the server in psql using commands like \lo_import('c:/temp/x1.txt') insert into x values('x1',:LASTOID); and then call this in an sql statement? Will this work or what do people usually do? Thanks for any help Andrew -- ___________________________________________ Andrew J. P.
