Possible Bug

I have used server version of the perl modules DBD::Pg and Pg. I have
looked over the modules and the DBI package and believe the problem
might be with the libq.

When you pass a oid to the lo_open it doesn't seem to be able to accept
it and cause and error to be generated in the log file: ERROR:
lo_lseek: invalid large obj descriptor (0) <- Note descriptor (0), I
passed 16832 to it as the oid.

Can you take a look at this and let me know if libq is the culprit or
not.

Thanks
Chuck

I am having problems with the lo_ functions.

I can use lo_creat and lo_import with no hitch but when I try to use
lo_open on the Oid's generated I get an
error, lookin into the Postgre log I see that it is trying to open Oid
0. It appears that the Oid is not being passed.

Thanks
