<para>
Include large objects in the dump. This is the default behavior
except when <option>--schema</>, <option>--table</>, or
- <option>--schema-only</> is specified, so the <option>-b</>
- switch is only useful to add large objects to selective dumps.
+ <option>--schema-only</> is specified. The <option>-b</>
+ switch is therefore only useful to add large objects to dumps
+ where a specific schema or table has been requested. Note that
+ blobs are considered data and therefore will be included when
+ --data-only is used, but not when --schema-only is.
