lo_import

My remote server recognizes the fokkowing expression as a server side command.

-----
Insert Into library.devices (Item_id, device, a_d, designation, function_, type_, function1)
Values ( 'Tdeviceft2a', lo_import('c:/program files/postgresql/8.0/lib/images/magflow.bmp'), 'a', 'F', 'A_Flow', 'mon', 'Flow') ;

Various documents, including PostgreSQL, suggest modifications such as - \lo_import, lo_import(), oid lo_import - to make the statement work on the client side.

I can't make them work. What am I missing?

Insert Into library.devices (Item_id, device, a_d, designation, function_, type_, function1)
Values ( 'Tdeviceft2a', \lo_import ('c:/program files/postgresql/8.0/lib/images/magflow.bmp'), 'a', 'F', 'A_Flow', 'mon', 'Flow') ;
