Recently we got a complain about server side large object function
names described in the doc:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/51b2413f.8010...@gmail.com
In the doc:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/lo-funcs.html
"There are server-side functions callable from SQL that correspond to
each of the client-side functions described above; indeed, for the
most part the client-side functions are simply interfaces to the
equivalent server-side functions"
>From the description it is hard for users to find out server side
functions "loread" and "lowrite" becuase they are looking for
"lo_read" and "lo_write". So I think his complain is fair. Included
patches attempt to fix the problem.
