Hi I ran into this little astonishment yesterday on 7.4.8. When I create a database connected as the super user using: CREATE DATABASE foo OWNER = foo; The database is indeed owned by user foo, but the automatically created public schema is is owned by the database super user. Should this schema not be created as owned by the database owner specified in the CREATE DATABASE command? Our work around is to drop the public schema and recreate it after reconnecting as the database owner, but that seems like work I shouldn't have to do. Is this a problem or am I expecting something that I shouldn't? Ian -- Ian Freislich
