Possibly. Where possible, we have either default or assumed values where
there is no (visible) way of getting these values.

I did miss one bit out of the last post: There is a problem with
getColumnPrivileges(), in that it will never work while pg_user is not
readable by public.

I know that someone (vadim?) was trying to work out where to store the
passwords (other than in pg_user).

Anyhow, now I've finished the courses my employer keeps sending me on, I
can now spend more time on this ;-)
