Re: Frustrating LO problem

Hi Sean,

I'm certainly not a PostgreSQL expert when it comes to large objects
etc, but there's one thing that jumps out at me here (perhaps someone
else can see the same line of thought and into more depth as I can't
think of much else to suggest?)

^^ here it seems to be thinking that column 'template' is of type 'oid',
not 'lo' (if I'm reading the error right:  "invalid input syntax for
type oid").

Just double-check what data-type that column is in this database.
