How hard would it be to do the following two statements (the
equivalent of the following two statements) using a client?
pg_dump -i -U uuuuu -s -x -O -f file dbname
psql -U uuuuu -f file dbname
I'm trying to help out the rails people. Currently they have "rake"
scripts which call pg_dump, dropdb, createdb, and psql. It would be
nicer if this could be done via a database connection.
The psql piece I believe is fairly easy. But I don't know where to
begin with the pg_dump piece of it. I took a glance at the pg_dump
code and it is hugh... so I got scared and ran away.
