I need a pl/pgsql function that will dump a table ddl so I can export the definition to a file before I drop the object.

the psql \d command won't work, since it doesn't dump the table ddl, it just lists the table's attributes and indexes.

I've got the function mostly working, but need help translating the ACL list into the grant commands.

Are there any standard PG functions that would be useful for creating the grants?

Thanks in advance.
