Rather than specifying the use of OIDs by WITH OIDS clauses for each
CREATE TABLE in a dump, couldn't we do it by adding a SET command that
toggles the 'use_oids' GUC option prior to every CREATE TABLE? That way,
a user concerned with portability could fairly easily strip out (or just
ignore) the SET commands.
Cheers,
Neil
