pg_lo_create — Create a large object
pg_lo_create() creates a large
object and returns the OID of the large
object. PostgreSQL access modes
INV_READ
, INV_WRITE
, and
INV_ARCHIVE
are not supported, the
object is created always with both read and write
access. INV_ARCHIVE
has been removed from PostgreSQL itself
(version 6.3 and above).
To use the large object interface, it is necessary to enclose it within a transaction block.
Instead of using the large object interface (which has no access controls and is cumbersome to use), try PostgreSQL's bytea column type and pg_escape_bytea().
Note:
This function used to be called pg_locreate().
connection
PostgreSQL database connection resource. When
connection
is not present, the default connection
is used. The default connection is the last connection made by
pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().
object_id
If an object_id
is given the function
will try to create a large object with this id, else a free
object id is assigned by the server. The parameter
was added in PHP 5.3 and relies on functionality that first
appeared in PostgreSQL 8.1.
A large object OID or FALSE
on error.
