lo_import
From a remote client what is the process of adding a blob (sa a image.jpg)
to the table. I'm not sure how to use the \lo_import and/or the lo_import
function in an insert call.
My table has a column of type OID. But I'm not sure if this is the proper
way either. What I'm interested in is how someone does these things:
1. Proper table column config
2. proper way of inserting into the table
3. proper way of exporting from the table
4. proper way of deleting
Please set me straight!
Hi Patrick
docgen=# CREATE TABLE fotos (name CHAR(15), bild OID);
CREATE
docgen=# INSERT INTO fotos VALUES
docgen-# ('eule',lo_import('/home/conni/eule.gif'));
INSERT 18999 1
docgen=# SELECT * FROM fotos;
name | bild
-------------------+----------
eule | 18999
(1 row)
docgen=# SELECT lo_export(fotos.bild, '/tmp/euleout.gif')
docgen-# FROM fotos WHERE name = 'eule';
lo_export
-----------
1
(1 row)
docgen=# SELECT lo_unlink(fotos.bild) FROM fotos WHERE name = 'eule';
lo_unlink
-----------
1
(1 row)

That works fine if your /home/conni/eule.gif is on the server, but what I
was wanting was the process to insert when your on a remote system and your
/home/conni/eule.gif is on the remote system not the server. You can use
the \lo_import <filename> to import a local file to the server, which then
can be seen with \lo_list and exported with \lo_export and then \lo_unlink
if you wish.
How do you put the OID into bild from the large objects list? I'm not sure
what the use of \lo_<cmd> is?
