Обсуждение: data larger than 8k

If a table element can only handle up to 8k of data what do you do if
you need to insert larger data?

Use large_objects - it's in man pages.

Thanks,

I noticed that

create table test (name text, filename oid);
insert into test values ( 'a file', lo_import('/tmp/afile') );

will create database files named as xinv(BigInteger) and
xinx(BigInteger).

When I do

delete from test;
or
drop table test;

These xin files stay around.  Is there a way to have these cleaned up
on delete and drop?

This is a work in progress. In the developer source, take a look in
contrib/lo which defines a new type 'lo' which handles large object
orphaning. It can handle 'delete from test' but not 'drop table test'.
