So I'd try a REINDEX of pg_largeobject to see if that fixes it. See the REINDEX man page concerning hoops you have to jump through to reindex a system catalog --- IIRC, the hoops are much higher and narrower back in 7.3. > The db being dumped is 7.3.2 Of course, I'm reading 7.3.15 sources ... regards, tom lane
