I'd hazard a guess that there is another role which is a member of this one.... connect to the database using psql, and then \du will give you a list of all roles - in the output from \du, look at the column "Member of". All of the roles have {} under "member of", so I assume that means no members? HTH, Ray. You could try: SELECT C.relname, C.reltype FROM pg_class C, pg_authid O WHERE O.rolname = 'jpate' AND C.relowner = O.oid; Regards, Igor Neyman -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
