Especially information as out of date as that :-(. Glancing at the commit log, the very first version of pg_dump (in PG 7.0) did not do blobs, but that was fixed by 7.1. I have a vague recollection that --no-blobs might've been the default for a while after that, but certainly it's been well over a decade since it wasn't default. regards, tom lane
