Обсуждение: Real time monitoring of pg_dump progress through web apps
Hello All,
Our web app is using postgres as DB. We want to give our clients the options of backing up his data. Since the data is couple of GBs it takes couple of minutes to execute pg_dump on DB after the user has selected backup option from his/her browser.
We want to show some sort of progress bar for the backup operation. So my questions are : Is there a way of asking pg_dump to report back the time it estimates to complete the backup operation. Or even before executing pg_dump is there a way of knowing how much time pg_dump will take to dump a the database?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Rest fine

No. The closest you could get would be to use the --verbose option of pg_dump and show the resulting messages. -Kevin
