Bug reference: 17534
Logged by: Nick Nalbantov
Email address: akdmnnakdm@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 14.4
Operating system: Windows
Description:
Here's an old problem (look at
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/204807/why-do-i-get-a-postgresql-permission-error-when-specifying-a-tablespace-in-the?rq=1),
but it's still reproducible in PG 15b1 on Windows and PG13 on Debian 10
If some user with createdb privilege would try to create database with
'tablespace = pg_default' option, query will fail with ERROR: 42501
But same query without 'tablespace = pg_default' option would work fine,
and new database will be created at pg_default tablespace as expected.
Steps to reproduce:
psql -U postgres -d postgres
create role test with login password '123' createdb;
\q
psql -U test -d postgres
\set VERBOSITY verbose
CREATE DATABASE test
OWNER = test
ENCODING = UTF8
TABLESPACE = pg_default; -- query works as expected if this line is
missing
ERROR: 42501: permission denied for tablespace pg_default
