*** 403,407 ****
  Returns:	A closed PgLargeObject object.
  
! 2.1.12 PgQuoteString
  --------------------
  
--- 374,386 ----
  Returns:	A closed PgLargeObject object.
  
! Note:		A PgLargeObject can not be opened outside the context of a
! 		transaction.  Because of this, large objects created with this
! 		method (and by inference, un-pickled large objects) will begin
! 		a transaction (if needed) in it's associated PgConnection
! 		object when the the large object is opened.  When the large
! 		object is closed, the transaction will be committed.  If a
! 		rollback is desired, pass close() an argument of 1.

! 2.4.2 export
  ------------
  
--- 1074,1098 ----
  
  Note:		Open is a built-in function of Python, not a method of the File
! 		Object.  If there is not transaction started on the associated
! 		PgConnection object when open is called, one is started.  This
! 		will only occur for un-pickled large objects and large objects
! 		created with the PgLargeObject method of libpq (and PgSQL).
  
! 2.4.3 close
! -----------
! 
! Syntax:		lo.close()
! 
! Description:	This method will close an open large object.
! 
! Note:		If the large object was the result of un-pickling a large
! 		object or it was created with the PgLargeObject method of
! 		libpq (or PgSQL), close() will commit the transaction started
! 		by open().  If a rollback is desired, then pass close a single
! 		argument of the integer 1.  This argument is only valid if the
! 		large object was the result of un-pickling a large object or
! 		created with the PgLargeObject method.
! 
! 2.4.3 export
