I am developing a wxPython app which can run, like Postgresql, on Linux and Windows boxes. Linux users are far more specialized than Windows one - and Postgres comes along with major distros. Windows users don't want (or are unable to) install Postgresql by themselves, so I was wondering if there

The images are stored in whatever format our users load them as, so we don't have any control over their compression or lack thereof. I ran pg_dump with the arguments you suggested, and my 4 GB test table finished backing up in about 25 minutes, which seems great. The only problem is that the re
