     However, even though I can get the sql query,etc... how will I use this to dump the data into the relevant files?

 

You can use the "\copy" command in psql to export the result of query into a file. For example:

 

> psql -c "\\copy (select * from atable) to 'myfile.csv' with delimiter as ',' csv header" adb

 

will copy all rows from "atable" in "adb" to "myfile.csv" in csv format.
