I was trying to do a data+lo dump using pg_dumpall:
pg_dumpall -C -a -b -o -Ft > dumptest.data
Unfortunately I kept getting this error:
pg_dump: large object output is not supported for plain text dump files.
pg_dump: (Use a different output format.)
Upon looking at the pg_dumpall shell script I found out why:
PGDUMP="${PGPATH}/pg_dump $connectopts $pgdumpextraopts -Fp"
Is there a particular reason why plain text is forced? Could this be removed
in the next version? Or even moved to a pg_dumpall command line option? I
really dislike using nonstandard tools.
Regards,
Andrew
