This is not an issue with pgAdmin. You can do the same with psql. BTW, pg_hba.conf file controls who has the right to connect to one database or another, not the rights users have on objects. To drop a database, you need to be its owner or a superuser, and you need that noone is connected to this database. It has nothing to do with the fact that you are allowed to connect to it. -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
