Re: Documentation clarification request: pg_dumpall and Large Objects

Hello,
I would like to request a clarification in the pg_dumpall
documentation regarding Large Objects (LOBs). The current
documentation does not explicitly state whether pg_dumpall includes
Large Objects in its output.
In the source code (pg_dumpall.c), there is a comment indicating
that pg_dumpall forces all pg_dump output to plain text. Since Large
Objects are only included by pg_dump when using -b or non-text
archive formats (custom/tar), pg_dumpall cannot include LOBs in its
output.
This behavior is clear from the implementation, but not from the
documentation.
I propose adding an explicit note such as:
"pg_dumpall does not include Large Objects (BLOBs). To back up
Large Objects, use pg_dump -b per database."
This clarification would help prevent user confusion during
cluster-wide backup procedures.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Dimitre Radoulov
