## pg-dump

Run [pg\_dump](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/app-pgdump.html) to generate a backup

## Usage

### Using the default PostgreSQL installed on the runner

```yaml
...
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Postgres Dump Backup
        uses: tj-actions/pg-dump@v3
        with:
          database_url: "postgres://test_user:test_user_password@localhost:5432/testdb"
          path: "backups/backup.sql" 
          options: "-O"   
```

### Using a different PostgreSQL version

```yaml
...
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Postgres Dump Backup
        uses: tj-actions/pg-dump@v3
        with:
          database_url: "postgres://test_user:test_user_password@localhost:5432/testdb"
          postgresql_version: "16"  # Note: Only the major version is required e.g. 12, 14, 15, 16
          path: "backups/backup.sql" 
          options: "-O"   
```
