Thread: pg_dumpall with oids/blobs

Hi!

I'd like to upgrade my all postgres databases from pg 7.4
to pg 8.0. Many of them use large objects with oids stored
in tables. How can I dump them all at once and restore
with right oids?

Regards,
-Marcin Gil

Read 'man pg_dump' and search for oid.

Yes, I know about that option. However I need pg_dumpall
not only to dump with oid order but also dump my large objects. AFAIK
pg_dumpall
makes only text (sql) dumps and cannot do binary dumps that are necessary
for blobs. Thus my question (maybe little innacurate) "how can I do it?".

TIA,
