Which they should be able to since public is shown to have "c" connect privileges (=Tc/tst) BQ_BEGIN [postgres@PGDEV14] postgres=# create user tst password 'tst'; CREATE ROLE [postgres@PGDEV14] postgres=# create database tst owner = tst; CREATE DATABASE BQ_END This next command is pointless, it is a no-op, as soon as you made them owner of the tst database they already had all privileges to it, granted by the same user that created the database. And only it, that command is not recursing through the database into schemas and tables and adding more permissions. That isn't how this all works, a database is an object. While it is also a concept that encompasses the entire schema within it the permissions system only cares about the first definition.

BQ_BEGIN [postgres@PGDEV14] tst=# \dn+ tst Liste des schémas Nom | Propriétaire | Droits d'accès | Description -----+--------------+----------------+------------- tst | tst | | (1 ligne) BQ_END David J. David, what I wanted to demonstrate/convey is that when I alter the ownership of a **database**, the old owner loses all his privileges on it (even CONNECT) although he still owns schema and objects (table, index,..) inside it. As such, he can't use his own schema anymore. That's why I propose to update the documentation as it's weird, at least for me, when you get caught by this behaviour. Regards Gilles
