My work on pg_dump/pg_restore has left me wondering about also supporting
BLOBs. I realize that TOAST will replace BLOBs, but the ability to dump &
restore a DB with BLOBs will make conversion a lot easier, I would guess.
The question then is, for the purpose of pg_dump/restore, how difficult
would it be to create a 'lo_create_with_oid' function?
This technique would obviously only work properly for full restores of the
database, and if the max oid was set prior to the restore.
