You might consider using "bytea" instead of large objects, unless you need the lo_read()/lo_seek() API in your client app... I'm not super-familiar with how bytea and COPY work together, though.

bytea will only go up to "several thousand bytes" according to the docs. I assume it's not very precise because the maximum is 8196 - $other_fields_in_row. My binary data could be a couple times that or even much bigger for other apps.

I suggest upgrading to PostgreSQL 7.1 or newer.
