The attached patch uses one TOC entry for each blob objects.
It adds two new section types.
* "BLOB ITEM"
This section provides properties of a certain large object.
It contains a query to create an empty large object, and restore
ownership of the large object, if necessary.
| --
| -- Name: 16406; Type: BLOB ITEM; Schema: -; Owner: ymj
| --
|
| SELECT lo_create(16406);
|
| ALTER LARGE OBJECT "16406" OWNER TO ymj;
The comment descriptions were moved to COMMENT section, like any other
object classes.
| --
| -- Name: LARGE OBJECT 16406; Type: COMMENT; Schema: -; Owner: ymj
| --
|
| COMMENT ON LARGE OBJECT 16406 IS 'This is a small large object.';
Also, access privileges were moved to ACL section.
| --
| -- Name: 16405; Type: ACL; Schema: -; Owner: kaigai
| --
|
| REVOKE ALL ON LARGE OBJECT 16405 FROM PUBLIC;
| REVOKE ALL ON LARGE OBJECT 16405 FROM kaigai;
| GRANT ALL ON LARGE OBJECT 16405 TO kaigai;
| GRANT ALL ON LARGE OBJECT 16405 TO PUBLIC;
* "BLOB DATA"
This section is same as existing "BLOBS" section, except for _LoadBlobs()
does not create a new large object before opening it with INV_WRITE, and
lo_truncate() will be used instead of lo_unlink() when --clean is given.
The legacy sections ("BLOBS" and "BLOB COMMENTS") are available to read
for compatibility, but newer pg_dump never create these sections.
Internally, the getBlobs() scans all the blobs and makes DO_BLOB_ITEM
entries for each blobs and a DO_BLOB_DATA entry if the database contains
a large object at least.
The _PrintTocData() handles both of "BLOBS" and "BLOB DATA" sections.
If the given section is "BLOB DATA", it calls _LoadBlobs() of the specified
format with compat = false, because this section is new style.
In this case, _LoadBlobs() does not create a large object before opening
it with INV_WRITE, because "BLOB ITEM" section already create an empty
large obejct.
And DropBlobIfExists() was renamed to CleanupBlobIfExists(), because it
is modified to apply lo_truncate() if "BLOB DATA" section.
When --clean is given, SELECT lo_unlink(xxx) will be injected on the head
of queries to store, instead of the mid-flow of loading blobs.
One remained issue is the way to decide whether blobs to be dumped, or not.
Right now, --schema-only eliminate all the blob dumps.
However, I think it should follow the manner in any other object classes.
-a, --data-only ... only "BLOB DATA" sections, not "BLOB ITEM"
-s, --schema-only ... only "BLOB ITEM" sections, not "BLOB DATA"
-b, --blobs ... both of "BLOB ITEM" and "BLOB DATA" independently
from --data-only and --schema-only?
