Hi,
Is there a large object¹ support in development, or do you intend to add one in the future?

Hi Nicolas,
Postmodern does not currently support this. There isn't a single mention of large objects in documentation of the Postgres Frontend/Backend protocol, so I'm not even sure how they are implemented by the C client lib. They seem to be a hack on top of tables containing binary arrays (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/lo-implementation.html).
If you have a need for this, you can have a shot at implementing it. Myself, I'm in 'maintenance' mode when it comes to Postgres -- I'm happy to fix bugs and answer questions, but I don't have time to add substantial new features.
Best, Marijn

No problem :)
If I need them, I'll try to add the support to postmodern (excellent library by the way).
