RE: jdbc large object support ??

Large Objects have been supported for years - just not via streams.

Stream support is simply passing an InputStream (say from a file) directly
to a large object in the database. The ImageViewer example shows the other
two ways, using setBytes() and using our own extensions.

Subject: [INTERFACES] jdbc large object support ??

I read on the jdbc driver web page that "Stream support for large
objects is delayed until 7.1". But I also see an example called
ImageViewer.java in the src distribution of postgres that uses large
objects. So...... Can I use postgres large objects with the most recent
jdbc driver? Anf if so, what is "Stream support" and do I really need
it?

Thanks,
John
