Thank you for your help.
I managed to get an output by mail:
"/opt/postgresql/bin/pg_dump: error in loading shared libraries:
libpq.so.2.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I've just found a solution from old postgresql archive:
"You can just put the postgresql lib directory in /etc/ld.so.conf and run
ldconfig."
It seems to be working. I've just got a dump file.
But I have a question: is this solution enough for successful pg_dump
or I have to do something else to exclude failure ?
Thanks
Slava

Ist your crontab a systemwide one? (ie: /etc/crontab ?) this one's normally
run as root, but you may specify a special user. does your script run as
root, too? So you might ewant to un your script as
* * * * * su - oracle -c '/path/to/script/yourscript'
