That would depend on how you did the dump. 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
