In postgres 8.3.6 could you please tell me where the security permission details for users are stored (i.e. who has select on a particular table), for example in the master database in M-SQL, am I right in thinking these details are stored in pg_catalog and if so I'm guessing this should be backed up

Thanks
FT

Column relacl in the pg_class table of the pg_catalog schema.

pg_dump takes care of this for all the objects you dump.
