Why doesn't pg_dump include blob by default? I understand that older
pg_dump didn't deal with blobs, and blobs are now kind of obsolete in
favor of BYTEA/TEXT, but blobs are every bit a part of a database.
Perhaps only exclude blobs when -t is specified? Then -b is required to
include blob.

Sorry about the false alarm. I was convinced restoring blobs

The tar problem is now fixed in CVS.

Hi
I've been experimenting with 7.1rc4 for a couple of hours. I was messing with
blobs, and the new toast setup worked quite nicely. One thing I especially
liked was the fact that by having pg_dump create a dumpfile in the custom or
tar format, I could also backup all blobs in one go.
