Thanks Thom, that's really useful to know however I've been unable to get
it working with pg_dump either. Are you able to offer any insight there?
What command line options are you using?
I get the same result with:
pg_dump -o mydatabase
pg_dump mydatabase
Thanks again, Matt

I can confirm that pg_dumpall's -o option doesn't appear to work, but
pg_dump's -o does. This looks like a bug to me, especially since it also
doesn't produce the WITH OIDS option on the CREATE TABLE statement for
tables which do have OIDs.
