Come to think of it, I'll bet that you cannot use "> DBFile" on Windows
because it ends up opening the archive file in text instead of binary
mode. SetOutput() in pg_backup_archiver.c tries to work around this by
doing

fn = fileno(stdout);
AH->OF = fdopen(dup(fn), PG_BINARY_W);

but it wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that that doesn't work
on Windows.

Does it work if you use
pg_dump --format=t --blobs -f DBFile myDB
? Can anyone on pgsql-hackers-win32 think of a way around this?

regards, tom lane
