bytea SQL ERROR with size

[lionel pacoud]

Hi,

ok, so I have pictures that I store in Postgres (7.2.4) via JDBC.
if the size of my picture is small (less than 1ko) it's ok, there is
no pb.
but I never succed to put a bigger picture.
the response is :
java.sql.SQLException: ERROR: index_formtuple: data takes 211980
bytes, max is 8191... or
java.sql.SQLException: ERROR: btree: index item size 2768 exceeds
maximum 2713...

it depends of the size of the picture...

I tried to use Large Object instead of bytea but, there is a
ClassCastException when I do this :
LargeObjectManager lobj =
((org.postgresql.Connection)conn).getLargeObjectAP I();

Conclusion, I really need help. I don't see any solutions.

well, thanks for your help.

Ok,
so i found a solultion (maybe it could help someone else):
it seems that postgres doesn't accept unique constraint on bytea of
size bigger than 1ko
if I remove the unique constraint, it's OK.
