pg_dump getBlobs query broken for 7.3 servers - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Just noticed that the getBlobs() query does not work for a 7.3 server
(maybe <= 7.3) due to the following change in commit 23f34fa4 [1]:

     else if (fout->remoteVersion >= 70100)
         appendPQExpBufferStr(blobQry,
-                             "SELECT DISTINCT loid, NULL::oid, NULL::oid"
+                             "SELECT DISTINCT loid, NULL::oid, NULL, "
+                             "NULL AS rlomacl, NULL AS initlomacl, "
+                             "NULL AS initrlomacl "
                              " FROM pg_largeobject");
     else
         appendPQExpBufferStr(blobQry,
-                             "SELECT oid, NULL::oid, NULL::oid"
+                             "SELECT oid, NULL::oid, NULL, "
+                             "NULL AS rlomacl, NULL AS initlomacl, "
+                             "NULL AS initrlomacl "
                              " FROM pg_class WHERE relkind = 'l'");

The following error is reported by the server:

pg_dump: [archiver (db)] query failed: ERROR:  Unable to identify an
ordering operator '<' for type '"unknown"'
    Use an explicit ordering operator or modify the query
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] query was: SELECT DISTINCT loid, NULL::oid, NULL,
NULL AS rlomacl, NULL AS initlomacl, NULL AS initrlomacl  FROM pg_largeobject

I could fix that using the attached patch.

Thanks,
Amit
