Hello,

We have to take a backup of database and we know the pg_dump utility of
postgresql.

But may I know, is there any API for this pg_dump utility so that we can
call it from the C program? Or only script support is possible for this.

I think script support is bit risky because if anything goes wrong while
taking backup using pg_dump then user will not understand the problem of
falling

If only script support is possible then what should we prefer perl or shell?

Please provide me some help regarding this

Thanks,

Soni
