Hmm. I updated the User's Guide html document on the web site the other
day, and put tar files of the html in /pub/patches/*.tar.gz
Pretty sure I don't mention "filename" in the docs, but am certain I
talk about "text" and mention "name" in passing. Look inside the chapter
on Data Types, in the section on Character Types.
I also forgot to discuss the "oid" type; if there are any others missing
from the docs let me know. Others should speak up too if they see
omissions; that's "my" chapter :)

Don't know. What does it do? Is the same as a blob? If so, then you need
to use the large object interface.
