Hi all, Is it possible to perform an SQL Dump without using pg_dump? I have a special case situation wherein my application has access to a remotely-hosted PG (8.3) database, but does not have access to its admin tools. (There's a longer backstory here that I'm happy to explain if necessary.) I'm looking for an efficient way to dump all the data in the DB without having to SELECT * on each table.
I don't think so. Are you in a position to run pg_dump locally to the application, using the -h parameter to connect to the remote DB? You really are better off to use pg_dump if you can at all, since it looks after FK dependencies between tables, permissions, etc.
