Recent testing of the BLOB restoration code of pg_dump has highlighted
something that *may* be a problem, but I am not sure. BLOBs create tables,
and AFAICT those tables are owned by the user who was connected at the
time. This theoretically means that even though a user has access to a
table with a BLOB column, they may not be able to read the BLOB - is that
right? Should I worry about this?
