Thanks a lot for the clue... Now I am comfortably handling the Lrge Objects thru SQL...
But unfortunately I could not extract this data to frontend thru java... I tried in two ways but got the same error...after getting the data in Blob or Large Object. Error in connection == FastPath call returned ERROR: invalid large-object descriptor: 0 1) Process One Blob myBlob = null; Then for resultset rs myBlob=rs.getBlob(1); The error is returned in any statement which processes the Blob object like, long myLength = myBlob.length(); 2) Process Two FIRST the largeobject manager LargeObjectManager lobj = ((org.postgresql.PGConnection)conn).getLargeObjectAPI(); THEN in the while rs.next() loop LargeObject obj = lobj.open(oid, LargeObjectManager.READ); AND THEN InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(largeobj.getInputStream()); THe Error is returned in any statement that processes the input like writing in a ouputstream int b = -1; while ((b = input.read()) != -1) outputStream.write(b); I AM PUZZLED... WHERE IS THE WRONG ? THE CODE IS NOT COMPLAINING WHEN I GET THE VALUE FROM THE RESULT IN A OBJECT. BUT IT IS GIVING ERROR WHEN I AM TRYING TO READ THE OBJECT.
