Hello,
I would like to allow a co-worker to perform a backup of a database,
such that the backup is saved to the database server itself. One use
case is that (s)he would like an extra backup of a database, just before
an application update is deployed. The co-worker doesn't have shell
access on the DB server (so no sudo option), and we would like to allow
this to happen without having to involve a DBA.
Is it possible to call pg_dump (or equivalent action) through a
procedure/function?
