Hi, I was playing around with schemas and noticed that that the owner of a the database (specified with the CREATE DATABASE command) is not the owner of the database's public schema: (Connect as super user) c:\temp>psql postgres postgres Password for user postgres: psql (8.4.3) Type "help" for help. postgres=# create user foo password 'bar'; CREATE ROLE postgres=# create database foo owner = foo encoding = 'UTF-8'; CREATE DATABASE postgres=# \q c:\>psql foo foo Password for user foo: psql (8.4.3) Type "help" for help. foo=> drop schema public; ERROR: must be owner of schema public foo=> (As you can see, I'm using Postgres 8.4.3 on Windows) I understand that I could grant the necessary privileges to the role after creating the database. I'm just curious why the databse owner is not the owner of the public schema.
