Greetings, I am new to this list. I have a problem with BLOBS using PostgreSQL7.3.4.
I used the lo_export utility to insert an image into a trial database. I have not been able to use the lo_export utility to retrieve it. I have done this successfully before using PostgreSQL7.2. Assuming I have a table name TABLE with columns named TITLE and IMAGE. I ( working as postgres ) issued the following select statement : SELECT lo_export(table.image('/tmp/outimage.jpg') from TABLE where TITLE ='First Picture'; I get in response 'cant open unix file system "/tmp/outimage.jpg" no such file or directory. The problem seems to be the filename. So I tried different filenames such as image2.jpg, etc with the same result. I looked at the /tmp directory and I did not see any jpegs. I also looked at the postgres/data directory to see if there is a directory labelled /tmp. I was unsuccessful. I am using a PC running SuSE8.2. Some help will be appreciated.
