Обсуждение: How are blobs (oid) stored?

Hi all,

I know this is none of the user's business, but I'm wondering how
blob's implemented as oid are stored in the postgresql data storage.
Are each of them kept in a separate file, or are they chunked into
pieces and scattered ?

Thanks !

Jerome.

They're in chunks in the pg_largeobject catalog.
