I see large objects for each database are stored in pg_largeobject referenced
by the loid. So when I delete a file from a table containing an oid type I have
to make sure to delete the matching row(s) from pg_largeobject.
Can you see a scenario where a programmer would forget to delete the data from
pg_largeobject and the database becoming very large filled with orphaned large
objects? Or am I on the wrong track?
