oid2bytea v1.0 has been released

Antananarivo, Madagascar - April 19, 2025

## PostgreSQL large object to bytea converter

First release v1.0 of oid2bytea tool has been published. oid2bytea is a program
used to convert large objects columns in a PostgreSQL database into bytea.
oid2bytea will automatically detect the oid columns and process to their bytea
transformation automatically; parallel processing can be used to accelerate the
migration. Of course you can also choose which tables need to be processed or
filter on a schema.

Two migration modes are supported: `local` and `remote`. In `local` mode the
large objects data stored in the `pg_largeobject` table will be moved into a
newly created bytea column with the same name and the old oid column will be
removed. In `remote` mode oid2bytea will migrate the local oid columns to a
remote database with the same structure except that the oid columns have been
replaced by bytea columns of the same names.
