As far as I can tell, there are no connections open under this role. In
fact, jpate has been gone for several months

SELECT usename
FROM pg_stat_activity
GROUP BY usename;
usename
------------
postgres
log_write
product_readonly
(3 rows)

What I am looking for is something along the lines of
SELECT object_name
FROM ????
WHERE object_owner = 'jpate';

So I can see what jpate owns.
