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.
