I've got a database called 'tdc' which is used primarily by a user on the system known as 'tdc'. I think that way back I had created the database with another user, and now I'm always stuck granting acccess to both nsadmin AND tdc for every table and sequence, although it would be great if 'tdc' by default got access to tables created by him. Current process by user 'tdc': create table mytable ( id integer ); grant select, update, delete on mytable to nsadmin; grant select, update, delete on mytable to tdc; It's that second grant statement that I'd like to get rid of. How can I reassign ownership of the entire database, or just give default permissions on all new tables to 'tdc'?
