The username does not necessarily match the database name.

You can specify the database name as a positional argument, check the usage:

pg_dump_sample [options] database

Thanks for the response! However, I still failed to use this tool on my DB -- it looks like it ran into an infinite loop. The sample output stopped at a certain point forever. I already set LIMIT 1 on all my 160 tables and it should be very fast. My suspicion is if this tool can handle circular dependency.

Didn't get a chance to check the implementation though. Thanks for writing this tool anyway.
