Обсуждение: Account in postgresql database
Hi, I was searching for some information about the storage of the user data in postgresql. As far as I know there is one dictionary table for storeing all the users of any known database, right? As we'd like to provide a postgresql database service to our students we'd like to create one database for each user. This user should be able to create new accounts for other users but only for his/her database. Any comments or solutions are welcome.

As far as I know, nobody is currently working on it. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

But unfortunately there is a note within the documentation: "Note: This feature is intended as a temporary measure until a complete solution is found. At that time, this option will be removed." Another question is, how to grant the right of creating a databaseuser to a certain database user for only one database. Regards, Yann
