Обсуждение: Re: Re: grant privileges to a database [URGENT]
MySQL has this feature. I run a multi-user system and require shared MySQL And PostgreSQL dbs. I have mysql fine. Users have their DBs and can only access their DBs... but theres no real way to do this in Postgres. I can restrict tables, but I can still create tables in other poeples DBs. Maybe only allowed to acess DBs you create or are assigned permission to -- Mike >From: "Martin A.

Maybe > only allowed to acess DBs you create or are assigned permission to This is what I'm talking about (sort of) and I find it a handy thing that informix has since at least 1995. Lets say I have a database server and I create databases for diferent groups of people to populate. Thtas what grant dba would be usefull for.

Hello A few weeks ago I was interested in this question. My results were: - Yes, this is a sorrowful but true fact that if you enable access to someone to a database, she is automatically enabled to create objects in it. - Yes, the developers know it, and they said: there is a patch existing to workaround it. - No, they don't include it in 7.1. The reason: if you use that patch, pg_dumpall will not work. If somebody will have the strength in him to fix it, than it will be considered to include it in the base. After collecting these informations from more experienced people, I calmed down. Since I am in the beginning of creating my project, I think for the time when I will need it, it will be ready. Anyway, I do not know where this patch is. If you don't bother about pg_dumpall, ask a developer (a am only a wannabe developer) about it. If anyone detects that I wrote silly things, please do correct me. Bye, Baldvin
