Re: JDBC + PostgreSQL + LargeObjects

Hi Paulo,

From the browser window where you're getting the icon for "not an
image", do a "View Source" of the .html page.

The way in which web pages work, there's probably an error buried in the
source code, and the browser isn't showing it to you.

Doesn't always work, but commonly this is the case.

Hope that's helpful.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
