on what basis did you make up this advice?
i have no OID's anywhere and FK's work just fine.
when you set up the new server, be sure to re-create any users you
had on the old, and do the dump as the postgres superuser to ensure
everything gets copied. do the restore as the superuser too to
ensure all ownerships and permissions were as before as well.
