Hi Nicolas,

Postmodern does not currently support this. There isn't a single
mention of large objects in documentation of the Postgres
Frontend/Backend protocol, so I'm not even sure how they are
implemented by the C client lib. They seem to be a hack on top of
tables containing binary arrays
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/lo-implementation.html).

If you have a need for this, you can have a shot at implementing it.
Myself, I'm in 'maintenance' mode when it comes to Postgres -- I'm
happy to fix bugs and answer questions, but I don't have time to add
substantial new features.

Best,
Marijn
