Would anybody else be interested in a pg_dump library? I've found a thread from 
2013 related to the idea, but the discussion came to nothing.

Thread started here:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/71e01949.2e16b.13df4707405.coremail.shuai900...@126.com


My Motivation:

I'm the developer of a PostgreSQL GUI client, and I am looking for ways to 
integrate pg_dump into my application. The main use case would be to get the 
dump of individual tables (for example, when you want to create a table similar 
to an existing one)

Bundling pg_dump with my application and calling it doesn't allow the fine 
grained control and integration I would like to have. Also, pg_dump always 
opens a new connection; I would prefer to use an existing database connection 
instead.

In case anybody else is interested in this, I can offer to sponsor some 
developer time towards this effort.

Best regards,
Jakob
