How can I backup database from database itself

  • Follow


Is there a way to backup a database by issuing an SQL statement from the 
database?
I would like user to be able to create a backup from database itself, 
and not by telnetting to server and typing 'pg_dump' or 'pg_dumpall'.
Tnx in advance

They don't have to telnet to the server to run pg_dump or pg_dumpall.
Those can be run from their machine. (Though they should be running a
version as least as recent as the server version.) Take a look at the
man page, in particular the -h option.
