length bytes from a large object and
returns it as a string.
To use the large object interface, it is necessary to enclose it within a transaction block.
Note:
This function used to be called pg_loread().
lobAn PgSql\Lob instance, returned by pg_lo_open().
lengthAn optional maximum number of bytes to return.
A string containing length bytes from the
large object, or false on error.

instance now; previously, a resource was expected.
