The postgresql docs, I posted the url didn't I? Here it is again.
http://looking-glass.usask.ca/postgresql/docs/postgres/largeobjects.htm
And this is a quote from that page.
<QUOTE>
Originally, Postgres 4.2 supported three standard implementations of large
objects: as files external to Postgres, as UNIX files managed by Postgres,
and as data stored within the Postgres database. It causes considerable
confusion among users. As a result, we only support large objects as data
stored within the Postgres database in PostgreSQL.
</QUOTE>
So according to this, the large objects are stored in the table But
from what I gather from the earlier large object talk, and from my
own observation, postgres uses external files. Am I deluded? Am I
missing something?
