Обсуждение: Including pg_dump in .NET Application

Hello,

We're developing .NET application (closed-source) and would like to include
pg_dump to allow users to perform "quick database backup" within main
application.

Two questions:

1. Do we need to include any dependent files besides pg_dump.exe ?
2. Are we in violation of PostgreSQL license if we include this files?


Thank you in advance,

Penelope

IIRC, you need libpq and it's dependencies. Check with depends.exe from the ms support tools. Other than the linked
dll:s,nothing should be required.

No, that's allowed.
