Обсуждение: Denying CREATE TABLE capability

Hello all -

My users are able to connect to a main database and then create their own
databases.
However I do not want them to be able to create tables in the main database.
But in the main database, some users always create tables, which I have to
periodically go in and drop.

I have tried to deny users capability to add tables in the main database by
revoking users rights on the catalog relations.
Especially pg_class, etc... Still I have found no way to achieve the above
policy.

Does anyone know the trick to get this policy enforced?

Thanks,
Mike Minock

Unfortunately There is no way atleast i do not know of
such since you can not REVOKE this from users. I do
not know why The developers consider this as not so
inportant. This capability was in the todo list for
7.1 but was removed. I would like to see this feature
in postgres because I'm tyred dropping unnecessary
user tables. I'm also tired of hopeing to sse this and
atlast I'll migrate to another RDBMS :).
