Shouldn't pg_dumpall also dump user privileges? Every time I've updated
(just did it a little while ago) I have to go back into the databases and
grant all the users their privileges. Or am I doing something wrong?

Vince.

I believe pg_dumpall -z does it right. That's what I usually use.

I suggested making -z the default a while ago, but no one has gotten
around to doing something about it. (It'd be easy enough, but tedious,
since you'd need to invent a new switch for turning off privilege-
dumping and then update all the documentation. Sigh.)
