Lyndon,
pg_dump equals export in Oracle. Actually "pg_dump all" = "export full=y".
It's just a syntax difference. And if you have a full export all you need to to
recreate the database is create the system tablespace. And yes it is easy with
Oracle, if you keep it simple.

Database recovery is easy, the hard part is figuring out what broke & what you
have to fix it.

If only Oracle can come up with a Postgresql command such as:
pg_dump dbname | gzip > dbname_backup.gz
Then backups would be easy. I know, I know Oracle can do the same with
export, and sqlplus but hell it ain't that easy with Oracle.
