I'm not saying that placing such large values in a table (or LO) is a good idea, but - if I had managed to put data *in* to a table that I couldn't get back out, I'd be a bit cranky, especially if my attempt to do so kills the backend I am using (which triggers a shutdown of all other backends, no?). -- Jon -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
