You might as well just give him superuser privileges. In PG's security model, ownership of a database does *not* automatically confer any privileges with respect to the contained objects. It doesn't really give much at all except the ability to drop or rename the database as a whole. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
