Yeah. Note that creating new schemas is not directly connected to ownership anyway --- it's a question of whether you have the CREATE privilege on the database. The owner should have that privilege by default, but it could be revoked, or granted to others. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Either psql -U api_user -d api_development OR psql -d api_development SET ROLE api_user; SELECT current_user; -- *Melvin Davidson* I reserve the right to fantasize.

[GENERAL] Why can't the database owner create schemas and how can I enable that?
I am setting up a database for an app. So I create a user without superuser but with login priveleges I then create a database and set it's owner to that user like this... dropdb --if-exists api_development dropuser --if-exists api_user createuser api_user -P -d createdb api_development -O api_user The app can now connect to the database but it can't create any tables, schemas or anything else unless I give it superuser privileges. Is there any way I can make this user a superuser for this database without making it a superuser on other databases?
