I have quite a few customers that would benefit from the ability to not
have blobs present in dumps.Great! So how do we proceed to get "--no-blobs" added to pg_dump?Maybe CommandPrompt and Visena should co-fund development of such an addition, if it's accepted by -hackers?We'd be willing to pay for such an addition for the 9.5 branch, as a patch.Unfortunately this doesn't qualify as a bug fix - it is a new feature and thus is ineligible for inclusion in official 9.5David J.
Of course. That's why I mentioned that, if possible, an unofficial patch to 9.5 could be developed, funded partly by Visena (my company). Given that someone is willing to do this of course.
