No, the point of it would be to not have pg_dump scripts overriding installed-by-default ACLs. A newer PG version might have different ideas about what those should be. I don't think this is exactly an academic concern, either: wouldn't a likely outcome of your default-roles work be that some built-in functions have different initial ACLs than they do today? Good luck with that, if pg_upgrade overwrites those ACLs with the previous-version values. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
