I am wondering if postgresql changes the file size in any way of files that are added to large objects. I am receiving files back from the database using php that are slightly larger in size about 10 bytes I think. They still seem to run fine, but I'm interested. Thanks. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
