[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2244) Problem with data type 'Blob'

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on HHH-2244:
------------------------------------------

the initial description I have no clue what is meant by "its oid been changed", is that the primary key you refer to ? Then that is a completely different matter since changing primary keys on objects is not possible/supported.

why is lo_unlink() necessary ?

> I have created a table in which I have a field of type BLOB which I store pictures. I insert a picture, note the oid generated. Then I do the following select statement on table 'pg_largeobject' (system table) : select * from pg_largeobject where loid = 'oid of my picture'. I found the oid.
> Then I update my picture. Its oid has been changed. I now make another select from table 'pg_largeobject' where loid = 'my OLD oid' and I was surprised to see that the old oid is STILL in the table. So I conclude that each time I update a picture from my table. The old oids are still there and eventually my database is increasing in size.
> Is this not a bug in hibernate?
