Hi Douglas,

Thanks for your promptly answer. Here is the "step by step":

CREATE TABLE test
(
 description varchar(20),
 picture lo
)
WITHOUT OIDS;


INSERT INTO test (description) VALUES ('1');

And then, the error : INSERT INTO test (description) VALUES ('1')

What I am trying to do is insert data only on the column description, leaving the column picture null (because for this tuple there is no image).

Regards,

Rodrigo Carvalhaes

I need to use large objects BUT I am having problemns... I instaled
PostgreSQL 8.0.3 windows version with lo module.

first, I created the table below:
CREATE TABLE test
(
 description varchar(20),
 picture lo
)
WITHOUT OIDS;

After trying to make one insert without value for the lo I get the
error below:

INSERT INTO test VALUES (1);

ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: ""

This means you're trying to insert an integer value into the
"description" column, which is text.  It has nothing to do with large
objects.

To insert an LO into a database, you do the following:

BEGIN a transaction
Call lo_create() to make a new large object.  The return value is the
 OID of the LO, which you will need later.
Call lo_write() and lo_close() to put data into the LO
Insert the OID you got from lo_create() in the referencing column
 ("picture", in your case)
COMMIT the transaction

It's a little annoying but that's how it works.
