in thread Difficulty inserting a large object using DBD::Pg

I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Is it:
my $value = "111"; $dbh->do("insert into foo(id, test) values (8, ?)", undef, $value);
Certainly that will allow an insert, but then 111 becomes the value of the column, not an OID. Exporting it therefore doesn't work:
foobar=> select lo_export('test', '/tmp/x') from foo where id=8; ERROR: pg_atoi: error in "test": can't parse "test"
If the OID is a valid number, I imagine it will work, but then I still have to insert the data and get an OID, which puts me back to using lo_import. Or did I misunderstand your suggestion?
