I have to restructure some tables, coalescing common elements from three tables (sub-classes) into a single table (super-class). Each source table has a text field which actually gets stuffed with a largish (1Mb+) blob of xml.

Is there any way to simply, um, er, transplant the pointer rather than actually copy the data?

If they are large-objects (stored via the lo_xxx interface) yes. If not, no. I take it the large blob of xml is one of the fields that you are classifying as common?
