Patrick,

You also need to REVOKE INSERT/SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE ON SCHEMA public
FROM PUBLIC;

See section 5.8.4 in the docs.

You are much better off doing:-

CREATE ROLE codeuser . .. etc.

CREATE SCHEMA mynewapp AUTHORIZATION codeuser;

Then only codeuser can create tables etc. in that schema.
Set the search path in postgresql.conf to include the new schema.
You need to connect as codeuser.

HTH,
Rob
