Thread: dumping large object comments

dumping large object comments

From

Date:
I just remembered that although we now have COMMENT ON LARGE OBJECT 
<oid>, we haven't changed pg_dump to dump and restore these comments.

I went ahead and did this, but then realised that I cannot just dump the 
comments normally as the oid the lob is assigned when it's restored is 
not necessarily going to be the same as it was before.

So, somehow I guess we have to store the comments in some way that when 
the lob is imported, and we get its oid (i assume lo_import returns it) 
we insert the comment then.  It seems that this would require 
complicated changes to the way lobs and their comments are stored.

Any other ideas?
