Subject: [GENERAL] TEXT and BLOBS
> I want to find out how confused I am. ;-)
> I'm testing something on a Postgres 7.0.2 database. I made a small table
with

> inserts with PHP.
> Some went OK, until I tried to insert a large amount of text. It failed.
Of
> course, I did it on porpose to check the 8 K tuple limitation.
> Until here, am I right?
> So, now I'm gonna try to make inserts to a table just like the other one,
but
> with the slight change of making the text column a oid column.
> The questions are:
> 1) where are the blobs stored?
> 2) Is it posible to insert a chunk of text that has not been saved to a
file?
> 3) where is all the documentation on the behave of BLOBS? All I have found
> was in Bruce's book. I couldn't find such things in the users
documentations.
