pg_lo_open — Open a large object
pg_lo_open() opens a large object in the database and returns an PgSql\Lob instance so that it can be manipulated.
Do not close the database connection before closing the PgSql\Lob instance.
To use the large object interface, it is necessary to enclose it within a transaction block.
