Why am I getting a permission denied? I suspect you already revoked public CREATE privilege in schema public. Note where the fine manual says: schema_name The name of an existing schema. Each target_role must have CREATE privileges for each specified schema. There was some debate previously about whether that restriction was a good idea at all; and given this example, it seems like we definitely shouldn't require it during a REVOKE. 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
