If you did a_complete pg_dumpall (did not use -g or any other limiting flags), then all roles and databases are contained in the output file created. NOTE: restoring from the dumped file will require rebuilding all indexes, because indexes are not dumped.
No, I do: $ pg_dump -Fc PROD > PROD.pgdump $ pg_dump --globals-only postgres > globals.sql $ pg_dump -Fc postgres > postgres.pgdump -- Angular momentum makes the world go 'round.
