Thread: Large object and migration

Hi,

and want to migrate from 7.0.x to 7.1.x and read some instructions. As far as
i can see the disk files are not compatible so I need to do a pg_dumpall and
restore it in the new database. Buw what about the Large objects in the
databases (images etc) the are not in the backup?
Is there a way to copy them to the new database?

with regards
Martijn de Munnik

You can use contrib/pg_dumplo, or (in 7.1.2 and later) you can run
7.1's pg_dump against the 7.0.* database.
