lo_tell

I need to search a database for some text that is in a large object.
It seems that there isn't a way to put a large object in a WHERE so
I am trying to write a c function that will return the text stored
in a large object so I can do a comparison in the WHERE.

Anyway in the course of this I discoverd that lo_tell returns an
int rather than a long. Is there a limitation to the size of a
large object or just a limitation in lo_tell?

PS: If anyone has a suggestion for a better way to search on a
large object I'd love to hear it.
