After I've imported a huge file (1.3 GB) with "\lo_import", listed it with "\lo_list" and tried to delete it with "\lo_unlink", I get the error: "ERROR: pg_description: Permission denied.".
I couldn't find anything in the documentation about large objects and their expected behaviour, but I expected the lo to be deleted instead of this error. The version of postgresql I use: PostgreSQL 7.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.95.4 It is installed using the debian installation package postgres ( 7.1release-4). Only I changed the data-directory (copied all files to /home/postgres and created a softlink from /var/lib/postgres to /home/postgres, while postgresql was not running.) For me this was only a testdatabase, so for me it is not an urgent problem, but I hope this can be solved.
