Hi Marco Bizzarri and Martijn van Oosterhout,
Thanks for your valuable reply.
I am trying to execute all query from VC++ through CDatabase::ExecuteSQL(sQueryString) function call.
ie, via programming, not by manual entering query statements.
so, in my situation I can construct a string and pass on to this function to execute the query string.
Whatever the string I pass to ExecuteSQL() function, gets executed and I cannot get any result retured from the passed query string [like OID - 198705, from lo_create()].
Now, can you suggest me how to achieve it?
And one more clarification, what is the value 131072? How can I get this vlaue?
According to PostgreSQL documentation, they gave C Syntax as client side function.
Should I use those C API calls?
:)

lo_creat
----------
198705
(1 row)
(this is the OID number of the newly created large object).

lo_open
---------
0
(1 row)
(this is the file handler which you will use in the operations).

lowrite
---------
4
(1 row)
(you wrote 4 character in a large object)

lo_close

0
(1 row)
(you closed the file).

COMMIT
In this way, you created a new large object, and stored a string of 4
bytes inside of it.

Marco
