Thread: Dump/Restore Large Object OID

Hi all

If I don't use the --oids option when dumping a database with pg_dump,
can I assure that the "loid" field of the pg_largeobject table will keep
it's value when restoring?

Thanks in advance

give it a try once? Dump and restore once and see for yourself. You'd
have done that by now, but if you haven't do give it a try instead of
waiting any more. You may learn a thing or two in the process...

Of course, I already done that. I'm using pgAdmin to make database
backups\restores, without checking the "With OIDs" option and it
works well for the most of the cases. But sometimes referenced large
objects are not found after the restore, that's is why I'm asking.
