Hm. I wonder whether the following failure of "bob" to use the
specified template is intended or a bug. It seems to make sense to
sort that out before looking at the related tab completion.
test=# checkpoint;
CHECKPOINT
test=# create role fred with createdb;
CREATE ROLE
test=# create user bob;
CREATE ROLE
test=# grant fred to bob;
GRANT ROLE
test=# alter database postgres owner to fred;
ALTER DATABASE
test=# set role fred;
SET
test=> create database db1 template postgres;
CREATE DATABASE
test=> reset role;
RESET
test=# set role bob;
SET
test=> create database db2 template postgres;
ERROR: permission denied to create database
Opinions on whether this is a bug or correct behavior?
