The size of the output file will be about twice the length of the large object(s), since plain-text pg_dump format prints the large object contents in hex. I'd take a second look at exactly how you inserted the large objects; it seems highly likely that you inserted them multiple times or bloated their contents somehow. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
