Обсуждение: suggestion for admin "If you are upgrading"
Hi It might be nice to add a line saying that pgdumpall doesn't do large objects to section 1.4 of admin, so that when people upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 they don't accidentally lose their large objects. Perhaps something like: pgdumpall doesn't dump large objects by default. If your database uses large objects, please see section 8.1.4 Caveats. thanks, Philip
I think 7.1 does do them. > > Hi > > It might be nice to add a line saying that pgdumpall doesn't do large > objects to section 1.4 of admin, so that when people upgrade from 7.0 to > 7.1 they don't accidentally lose their large objects.

Right, but pg_dump from 7.0 doesn't. And to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1, you have to use the pg_dumpall from 7.0, not the one from 7.1. So if you follow the upgrade instructions in the 7.1 admin manual, the large objects will not be transfered. So maybe it should say: The implementations of pg_dump and pg_dumpall from versions prior to 7.1 do not dump large objects by default. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 7.1 and your database uses large objects, please see the documentation for pg_dump and pg_dumpall for that version. thanks, Philip On Mon, 19 Mar 2001, Bruce Momjian wrote: > I think 7.1 does do them. > > > > > Hi > > > > It might be nice to add a line saying that pgdumpall doesn't do large > > objects to section 1.4 of admin, so that when people upgrade from 7.0 to > > 7.1 they don't accidentally lose their large objects.
