Programmer's Guide::Large Objects::Built in registered functions

                                                                                                           Built in
registeredfunctions
        There are two built-in registered functions, lo_import and lo_export which       are convenient for use in SQL
queries.Here is an example of their use
        CREATE TABLE image (                                                                 name            text,
                                                     raster          oid
         );
                                                  INSERT INTO image (name, raster)
              VALUES ('beautiful image', lo_import('/etc/motd'));
                                                   SELECT lo_export(image.raster, '/tmp/motd') from image
               WHERE name = 'beautiful image';
