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 9.5 David 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. -- Andreas Joseph Krogh CTO / Partner - Visena AS Mobile: +47 909 56 963 andr...@visena.com <mailto:andr...@visena.com> www.visena.com <https://www.visena.com> <https://www.visena.com>
