PostgreSQL: 8.2
My understanding is that when one creates a large object there is no way to link the large object to a field in a table so that cascading delete can occur. Is this correct? My understanding is that you have to manually delete the large object.
I also read something about the OID ID being limited in size. What is the size limit of this OID type? I am sure that it is bigger than the number of files that I would be uploaded into my db; but I just want to get an idea of the range.
When putting a reference to a large object in a table, should the type of the reference object be OID?
