Re: lo_import

I have an interface that I am attempting to connect to a remote database for
which I have only client privileges. ( I would prefer to incorporate all of
this in a single installable .exe file, as the application, as it now
stands, is for mostly single users. But the only method I have found to do
this is to rebuild the database as part of the installataion. Rather than
rebuild, which I think is inefficient, I am looking into building the
database as a remote server.)

Part of the database is an image file using lo_import, which works well on
localhost.
