Group, I have a postgres implementation with approximately 150 databases. This was not my choice, but what I was given. What I need to do is backup individual databases and be able to restore any database along with it's roles. I understand the pg_dump and restore commands, they are quite clear and easy to use. The problem is the roles; other than postgres, I have to users, let's call them "update" and "read". I did the grants for these 2 roles on each table for each database. The documentation states that pg_dump doesn't dump roles. Is there a method to dump just the roles from a database, or otherwise select them, so I can build a script to reload the roles? Otherwise, I guess I'll just read the tables for each database and build the security script from that. I need to be able to restore individual databases, so pg_dumpall doesn't look like the route for me. I've looked at the internal tables and couldn't find anything with has my roles in it. TIA, Julie
