pg_dump should dump large objects automatically. If you're dumping a
single table, make sure you use the -b switch. Saith the manpage
-b
--blobs
Include large objects in the dump. This is the default behavior
except when --schema, --table, or --schema-only is specified, so
the -b switch is only useful to add large objects to selective
dumps.
