+ Large objects are not directly supported by ECPG, but ECPG
+ application can manipulate large objects through the libpq large
+ object functions, obtaining the necessary <code class="type">PGconn</code>
+ object by calling the <code class="function">ECPGget_PGconn()</code>
+ function. (However, use of
+ the <code class="function">ECPGget_PGconn()</code> function and touching
+ <code class="type">PGconn</code> objects directly should be done very carefully
+ and ideally not mixed with other ECPG database access calls.)
+ </p><p>
+ For more details about the <code class="function">ECPGget_PGconn()</code>, see
+ <a class="xref" href="ecpg-library.html" title="36.11. Library Functions">Section 36.11</a>. For information about the large
+ object function interface, see <a class="xref" href="largeobjects.html" title="Chapter 35. Large Objects">Chapter 35</a>.
+ </p><p>
+ Large object functions have to be called in a transaction block, so
+ when autocommit is off, <code class="command">BEGIN</code> commands have to
+ be issued explicitly.
+ </p><p>
+ <a class="xref" href="ecpg-lo.html#ECPG-LO-EXAMPLE" title="Example 36.2. ECPG Program Accessing Large Objects">Example 36.2</a> shows an example program that
+ illustrates how to create, write, and read a large object in an
+ ECPG application.
