Hi all, Bosco Rama recently complained[1] about not seeing a message printed by pg_restore for each LO to be restored. The culprit seems to be the different level passed to ahlog() for this status message: pg_backup_archiver.c: ahlog(AH, 2, "restoring large object with OID %u\n", oid); pg_back

[HACKERS] psql: server version check for \dO

Hi all, I think psql's \dO command is missing the server version check which similar commands such as \dx use. Right now \dO errors out with: test=# \dO ERROR: relation "pg_catalog.pg_collation" does not exist when talking to servers older than 9.1, which don't have pg_collation. Simple patch f
