Here is a transcript of a session, with a test-table containing only
one oid-column....

[jeroen@rulgfu sql]$ psql -f test.sql
insert into testfile values (lo_import('test.sql'));
ERROR: be_lo_import: can't open unix file"test.sql"

EOF
[jeroen@rulgfu sql]$ ls -l test.sql

[jeroen@rulgfu sql]$ cat test.sql
insert into testfile values (lo_import('test.sql'));

First I thought it was the permissions... but not at all... look above

Then I thought, well, on my old slackware box it ran beautifully... so
let's try that (self-compiled) version (6.3.3 i believe....)... but no
difference.

Does anybody have a clue (please???)

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Not sure, but try putting the file on the same machine that your backend runs,
e.g. the /tmp directory of the machine that the backend is installed.

Hope it helps.
