This looks sane to me, but I'd suggest leaving out the mention of 8.4
in the docs. Actually, I'm not sure you need a paragraph at all ---
just adding an example would be enough, I think.

SELECT lo_unlink(173454); -- deletes large object with OID 173454

INSERT INTO image (name, raster)
VALUES ('beautiful image', lo_import('/etc/motd'));
+
+ INSERT INTO image (name, raster) -- same as above, but specify OID to use
+ VALUES ('beautiful image', lo_import('/etc/motd', 68583));

SELECT lo_export(image.raster, '/tmp/motd') FROM image
WHERE name = 'beautiful image';
</programlisting>
