Обсуждение: permissions on databases vs. permissions on tables
ok, so i know how to use GRANT/REVOKE to assign permission levels on tables. however, it eludes me on how to do it on a database level. i poked about in the manuals and nothing jumped out and said "here's how you do it". for example, i have a database called "samples". in "samples", i have various tables which have been configured using "GRANT/REVOKE" to allow/disallow various activities by users. however, any user can create new tables. how do i stop/restrict who can add tables (and/or indexes) ? -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 410-5633 ] [ Reptilian Research -- Longer Life through Colder Blood ] [ Don't be fooled by cheap Finnish imitations; BSD is the One True Code. ]
Dear Jim, I've post the same question one week ago on pgsql-sql@postgresql.org but none has answered until today. Perhaps this is not a problem or this seems an obvious topic. I hope that at least someone tells us how this question is silly.

Currently I don't believe postgres has a way to prevent a user who can connect to a database from creating objects in it. There's been talk about the topic in the past (it's probably in one of the archives). I'm not sure if anything was done on this front for 7.1.
