Thanks for this address, this clearly expose the problem. It looks like there 
is no perfect solution. As I can live with a file size limit of 15Mo for a 
memory_limit of 64Mo in PHP, I'll certainly go to BYTEA. Anyway, if I use 
stored procedures to enforce security, the PHP pg_lo_xxx functions will be 
useless.

Thanks a lot,
