While migrating my application from DB2 to PostgreSQL.

I want to migrate following functions in PostgreSQL.

Functions in DB2: BLOB()/CLOB()

Criteria:
Size of character string targeted for cast is more than 1GB.  Character
String as argument to this function.

How can I migrate this function into PostgreSQL with above mention criteria.

I just want to know that like DB2 we can convert other data types into
CLOB/BLOB using function CLOB()/BLOB().

Example:
SELECT CLOB('testdata') FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1

Same way i want to convert other data types into large objects Oid in
PostgreSQL.

Proposed SQL will like:

select col1::oid from hoge;

------OR------

select to_oid('testdata');

Can anyone tell me that how I can implement above function for conversion?
