pg_init_privs

A system catalogue table containing information about the initial privileges of objects

pg_init_privs is a system catalogue table containing information about the initial privileges of objects.

The purpose behind this table is to enable applications (e.g. pg_dump) to detect when privileges have changed from the default and act accordingly (e.g. by explicitly inserting privilege commands in the dumped DDL SQL).

pg_init_privs was added in PostgreSQL 9.6 (commit 6c268df1).
