The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/datatype-binary.html Description:
When deleting a row that references (contains) a large object, I think that most users expect the DBMS to take care of the, now unreferenced, BLOB. It's good to know that PostgreSQL handles this differently and that one must periodically use vacuumlo to avoid BLOB data piling up. At least, that's what I understood. I think a small paragraph in the documentation about this would help many people. I can help with writing, if needed. Kind regards Oliver Marienfeld
