L.S. I noticed the following and wondered whether this is intentional or an oversight in pg_dump's '-c' option? The clean option causes the public schema to be dropped and recreated, but this is done with the default schema priviliges, which are not the same as the ones assigned during create database: *** USING PSQL postgres=# create database publictest; postgres=# \c publictest; publictest=# \dn+ List of schemas Name | Owner | Access privileges | Description --------+----------+----------------------+------------------------ public | postgres | postgres=UC/postgres+| standard public schema | | =UC/postgres | (1 row) *** USING SHELL host:~ # pg_dump -c -f /tmp/publictest -h localhost -Fp -U postgres publictest *** USING PSQL publictest=# \i /tmp/publictest publictest=# \dn+ List of schemas Name | Owner | Access privileges | Description --------+----------+-------------------+------------------------ public | postgres | | standard public schema (1 row) publictest=# grant usage on schema public to public; GRANT publictest=# grant create on schema public to public; GRANT testje=# \dn+ List of schemas Name | Owner | Access privileges | Description --------+----------+----------------------+------------------------ public | postgres | postgres=UC/postgres+| standard public schema | | =UC/postgres | (1 row) -- Best, Frank. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
