Hi,
        I'm new here, apologies if this is the wrong list...

I'm playing around with storing custom preprocessed data structures within Large Objects. I'd like to be able to write a custom function that will, within a query, let me select out particular bytestrings from the middle of a Large Object (within C, I think 'lo_lseek' and 'lo_read' would get me what I want).

I'd like to do so from some PL/* embedded language, rather than a compiled C module. I can't find any documentation on doing this, though. Is it possible? Thoughts?
According to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/lo-funcs.html , the functions are server side too

postgres=# select proname from pg_proc where proname like 'lo%';
  proname
-------------
lo_close
lo_creat
lo_create
lo_export
lo_import
lo_lseek
lo_open
lo_tell
lo_truncate
lo_unlink
log
log
log
loread
lower
lowrite

It's odd that loread and lowrite don't follow the naming convention with the underscore (8.3.3 win32)?
