Hi,

I am a new user with PostgreSQL, I came from MySQL and I am experiencing some issues with roles and privileges.

I have created a DB,user and grant privilege on this DB to this user. How could I check what is the privileges/permissions for this user?

Transcript:

postgres=# create database test;

CREATE DATABASE

postgres=# create user test with password 'test';

CREATE ROLE

postgres=# grant all privileges on database test to test;

GRANT

postgres=# \l

 test      | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =Tc/postgres         +

           |          |          |             |             | postgres=CTc/postgres+

           |          |          |             |             | test=CTc/postgres

 test1     | test1    | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =Tc/test1            +

           |          |          |             |             | test1=CTc/test1

(5 rows)

With "\l" command It's no clear.

Finally, I don't find some command like "show grants for..." in MySQL.

Regards.

You can use the following query to show what table <USERNAME>  can access.
Just replace <USERNAME> with the actual username you want.

SELECT *
  FROM information_schema.table_privileges
 WHERE grantee = '<USERNAME>'

ORDER BY table_schema,table_name, privilege_type;
