pg_lo_write
Name
pg_lo_write -- write to a large
object
Synopsis
pg_lo_write conn descriptor buf len
Description
pg_lo_write writes at most
len bytes from a variable buf to a large object.
Arguments
- conn
-
The handle of a connection to the database in which the
large object exists.
- descriptor
-
A descriptor for the large object from pg_lo_open.
- buf
-
The string to write to the large object (not a variable
name, but the value itself).
- len
-
The maximum number of bytes to write. The number written
will be the smaller of this value and the length of the
string.
Return Value
The number of bytes actually written is returned; this will
ordinarily be the same as the number requested. In event of an
error, the return value is negative.
