Re: pg_dump in cycle - Mailing list pgsql-general

This seems to be more interesting for shell scripting:

 psql -d DatabaseName -c 'select datname from pg_database where not
datistemplate' ;

     datname
-----------------
 fgm_eval
 hotline
 usj
 dragon_devel
 dragon_joujou
 dragon_devel_v2
 dragon_prod
 fgm
(8 rows)

Cheers.
Najib.
