That's the hard part. There is no percentage in having a library if it doesn't do anything significantly different from what you could accomplish via system("pg_dump ...switches...."); What is it you hope to accomplish by having a library, exactly? (And don't say "more control over the dump process". pg_dump is already on the hairy edge of maintainability; we do *not* need to try to deal with making it still function correctly after an application programmer makes some random intervention in the process.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
