I'm installing a calendar application called MRBS. The installation instructions require I create a role and database specifically for this web application. I'm currenlt logged in as my user account 'carlos' which is a superuser. postgres=# SELECT current_user; current_user -------------- carlos (1 row) I've already created the role 'mrbs' for which will own the database and all it's tables: Role name | Attributes | Member of -----------+------------------------------------------------+----------- carlos | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication | {} mrbs | | {} postgres | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication | {} Now I'm creating the database & I've set the owner to the 'mrbs' role: Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges -----------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+----------------------- calendar | mrbs | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | Now I need to have PostgreSQL run a file in my /tmp directory which will create the tables. The instructions from the MRBS documentation say: "Create the MRBS tables using the supplied tables.*.sql file: [PostgreSQL] $ psql -a -f tables.pg.sql mrbs" If I do the suggested above, my user 'carlos' will own all the tables in the database 'calendar' which is owned my 'mrbs'. How can I execute the command above but force PostgreSQL to create the files as a different user and not 'carlos'? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
