pg_dump with Django: -o flag needed?

When using pg_dump to dump a postgres database that is being used as the back-end for a Django application. Do I need to use the "-o" flag (dump object identifiers)?

Assuming you are using Postgres 8.1 or greater, then no - not unless you are tying into your system tables somehow. OIDs in postgres are only used for system tables unless WITH OIDS is specified when the user table is created.

OIDs in postgres docs.

WITH OIDS used to be the default in Postgres 8.0 and prior, but that has been switched in Postgres 8.1.
