MuK Large Objects Field

=======================



PostgreSQL offers support for large objects, which provide stream-style access

to user data that is stored in a special large-object structure. They are useful

with data values too large to be manipulated conveniently as a whole.



Psycopg allows access to the large object using the `lobject` class. Objects are

generated using the `connection.lobject()` factory method. Data can be retrieved

either as bytes or as Unicode strings.



Psycopg large object support efficient import/export with file system files using

the `lo_import()` and `lo_export()` libpq functions.



Changed in version 2.6: added support for large objects greated than 2GB. Note

that the support is enabled only if all the following conditions are verified:



* the Python build is 64 bits;

* the extension was built against at least libpq 9.3;

* the server version is at least PostgreSQL 9.3 (server_version must be >= 90300).



If Psycopg was built with 64 bits large objects support (i.e. the first two

contidions above are verified), the `psycopg2.__version__` constant will contain

the lo64 flag. If any of the contition is not met several lobject methods will

fail if the arguments exceed 2GB.



Installation

============



To install this module, you need to:



Download the module and add it to your Odoo addons folder. Afterward, log on to

your Odoo server and go to the Apps menu. Trigger the debug mode and update the

list by clicking on the "Update Apps List" link. Now install the module by

clicking on the install button.



Another way to install this module is via the package management for Python

(`PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/pip/>`_).



To install our modules using the package manager make sure

`odoo-autodiscover <https://pypi.org/project/odoo-autodiscover/>`_ is installed

correctly. Then open a console and install the module by entering the following

command:



``pip install --extra-index-url https://nexus.mukit.at/repository/odoo/simple <module>``



The module name consists of the Odoo version and the module name, where

underscores are replaced by a dash.



**Module:** 



``odoo<version>-addon-<module_name>``



**Example:**



``sudo -H pip3 install --extra-index-url https://nexus.mukit.at/repository/odoo/simple odoo11-addon-muk-utils``



Once the installation has been successfully completed, the app is already in the

correct folder. Log on to your Odoo server and go to the Apps menu. Trigger the 

debug mode and update the list by clicking on the "Update Apps List" link. Now

install the module by clicking on the install button.



The biggest advantage of this variant is that you can now also update the app

using the "pip" command. To do this, enter the following command in your console:



``pip install --upgrade --extra-index-url https://nexus.mukit.at/repository/odoo/simple <module>``



When the process is finished, restart your server and update the application in 

Odoo. The steps are the same as for the installation only the button has changed

from "Install" to "Upgrade".



You can also view available Apps directly in our `repository <https://nexus.mukit.at/#browse/browse:odoo>`_

and find a more detailed installation guide on our `website <https://mukit.at/page/open-source>`_.

module in the same way. Just type the following command into the console:
