Here’s a variation on the theme of http://postgresql.nabble.com/Issue-dumping-schema-using-readonly-user-td5837749.html
In a 9.3.4 database I don’t own, I am able to create schemas, so I do, and I create various tables within a schema. However, I am unable to use pg_dump (9.3.6) to dump the structure of my tables:
$ pg_dump --schema-only -h aserver adb
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] query failed: ERROR: permission denied for relation thingy_thingy_id_seq
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] query was: SELECT sequence_name, start_value, increment_by, CASE WHEN increment_by > 0 AND max_value = 9223372036854775807 THEN NULL
WHEN increment_by < 0 AND max_value = -1 THEN NULL ELSE max_value END AS max_value, CASE WHEN increment_by > 0 AND min_value = 1 THEN NULL
WHEN increment_by < 0 AND min_value = -9223372036854775807 THEN NULL
ELSE min_value END AS min_value, cache_value, is_cycled FROM thingy_thingy_id_seq
But in psql, \dt and \ds show that I own all my tables and sequences, and of course I can run the SELECT statement above with no problem, as in the referenced thread.
I am reporting this just to provide another data point on this behavior.

Kevin Murphy
