>    The large object implementation breaks large
    objects up into <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"chunks"</SPAN
> and stores the chunks in
    rows in the database.  A B-tree index guarantees fast
    searches for the correct chunk number when doing random
    access reads and writes.
   </P

>    As of <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> 9.0, large objects have an owner
    and a set of access permissions, which can be managed using
    <A
HREF="sql-grant.html"
>GRANT</A
> and
    <A
HREF="sql-revoke.html"
>REVOKE</A
>.  
    For compatibility with prior releases, see

    Only the large object owner (or the database superuser) can unlink, comment
    on, or change the owner of a large object.
