Hello! I face a problem here with restricting access to databases to the owners of the database (Postgres 8.1.4).
We would like any postgres user to have database access restricted to their own databases only. This is so, as we use postgres for educational purposes. I looked into pg_hba.conf, but unfortunately, when restricting database access in the database field, the NAME(!) of the database is concerned, which we do not restrict. Any user can create as many databases as needed, and the name may be choosen freely. The 'user' field does not help in this either. So is there any chance to achieve what we need without revoking the 'create database' permission and pre-creating the databases for all our users?
