Well this is my first post to this list, so be gentle ;-). I have
written a small utility I use and wanted to get it out and better
tested :-)
With it you should be able to do most group amin, without going into psql.
It has the following syntax:
usage: pg_group options -- dB group [user ...] || [table ...]
where options is one of: -c create group -d delete group -a add user(s) to group -r remove user(s) to group +g give
groupaccess to tables -g revoke group access to tables -p privlages to grant/revoke. This is only used with the +g and
-g options. -- end of switches. examples: pg_group -c -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr nobody tux pg_group -a --
guestbookgrp_gstbook_usr webuser pg_group -d -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr pg_group -r -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr
nobodypg_group +g -p "insert,select" -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr gstbook pg_group -g -p "insert" -- guestbook
grp_gstbook_usrgstbook
