Import a large object from file

Description

pg_lo_import([PgSql\Connection $connection], string $filename, [int|string $oid]): int|string|false

pg_lo_import() creates a new large object in the database using a file on the filesystem as its data source.

To use the large object interface, it is necessary to enclose it within a transaction block.

Note

This function used to be called pg_loimport().

Parameters

connection: Connection-with-unspecified-default
filename: The full path and file name of the file on the client filesystem from which to read the large object data.
oid: If an oid is given the function will try to create a large object with this id, else a free object id is assigned by the server. The parameter relies on functionality that first appeared in PostgreSQL 8.1.

Return Values

The OID of the newly created large object, Falseforfailure.
