I am trying to use the import_bytea function described in various list posts 
(PG version 9.3.14) in a jsp.

I get an error saying that only the super user can use server-side lo_import().

If I change the Java connection to use user postgres, the function works but I 
would prefer not to do this.

Is there a better way to update a bytea column from an uploaded file (in this 
case a small jpeg)?

Since you mention JSP, I assume you are using JDBC.

You can store the contents of a file in a bytea using plain JDBC no lo_import() 
required

    String sql = "insert into images (id, image_data) values (?,?)";
    Connection con = ....;
    File uploaded = new File("...");
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(uploaded);
    PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
    pstmt.setInt(1, 42);
    pstmt.setBinaryStream(in, (int)uploaded.length());
    pstmt.executeUpdate();

This *only* works with bytea column, not with "large objects".

In production code you obviously need to close all resources and handle errors.
I left that out for simplicity.

That looks reasonable but I need to update rather than insert and my similar code with sql="update part set pic=? where id=3" did not work.

Cheers,
Stephen
