how'd i "grant select on (all current and future tables inside a private schema) to username" without turning that user into superuser? "grant usage on..." doesn't do it. or do i, everytime i batch/auto create the tables, do a "grant select on (new table) to username"? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/sql-grant.html CREATE: For schemas, allows new objects to be created within the schema. To rename an existing object, you must own the object and have this privilege for the containing schema. USAGE: For schemas, allows access to objects contained in the specified schema (assuming that the objects' own privilege requirements are also met). Essentially this allows the grantee to "look up" objects within the schema. using 8.1.4 cheers, jzs ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
