Thanks, I read the pgAdmin help on a bytea column, but it doesn't specify its maximum size. What is
the largest filesize I can fit into a bytea column?
Thanks

From what? The lo_xxx functions are intended to be used from C, not
from SQL.
You might be better off using a bytea column, which is a far simpler
construct than a large object. It won't give you streamwise access,
just fetch or store the whole value at once, but that might be all you
need.
