Re: BLOBS (ODBC lo object) and pg_restore

Hi Tom,

Thanks for this - I'm really impressed with the response. In the end I used
lo_export and PL/PGSQL procedure to dump all the files (60000 of them!) to
disk and I bz2 that up to backup each night. I'll revisit pg_restore/pg_dump
when I get a chance.

I realise that you guys probably have plenty of developers but I'm wanting to
get my C/C++ back up to scratch again and I love Postgres - anything that you
guys need someone to sink their teeth into that I could have a shot at?

Cheers,

Jason
