I don't think anyone's really thought about it.  To do it without
breaking backward compatibility, we'd have to invent a parallel 64-bit
LO API and propagate that clear out to the clients ... seems like a
pain in the neck for relatively small gain.

You could break it into chunks, but it might be better to keep it in the
regular filesystem and just store a pathname in the database.
