I was following this:

http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/books/aw_pgsql/node96.html

"Because large objects use the local filesystem, users connecting
over a network cannot use lo_import or lo_export()."

Confirmed using psql.

What api/language are you using?  Is this possible to do through
DBI?  If you don't use lo_import/lo_export, how do you
insert/retrieve images?  Pointers to docs are welcomed!

Thanks,
