The latest versions of libpqxx offer a preliminary Large Objects
interface that lets you slot a large object into a standard C++
istream, iostream or ostream with all the features that entails.

If anyone is interested in advanced large objects usage, please take
a look and tell me:

 - If it works, and what you do with it.  I'd like to hear about it 
   either way.

 - What test cases I could add to my regression test.  One thing I
   haven't tested yet is mixed read/write access.

 - What I could change in the interface.  I know I still need to
   build my own stream classes around the streambuf class, so that
   part of the interface is going to get a lot cleaner.

Please, if you have some time, download the 1.6.1 source tree from the
Developer branch on http://pqxx.tk/ and let me know!


TIA,

Jeroen
