Stephan,
Thanks for the info, but alas, no success.
I have:
List of database users
User name | User ID | Attributes
-----------+---------+----------------------------
testuser | 100 |
postgres | 1 | superuser, create database
And as postgres I ran:
REVOKE ALL ON SCHEMA public FROM testuser;
Then I connect:
psql -d testdb -U testuser
(I should not even be able to connect ?)
And I run:
CREATE TABLE foo (man INT, choo(VARCHAR(20));
And it works ...
Am I misundertanding something, or is it simply not possible to prevent users from
creating tables ?
In Informix this quite easy:
REVOKE RESOURCE FROM testuser;
I am puzzled at postgres' documentation, and perhaps at its underlying logic.
Any help would be appreciated -- this is sort of important.
Thanks!
Greg W.

Make the user not have rights to create objects in any schemas. Most
likely you'd only need to change the public schema, but if you've granted
create rights for other schemas you'll need to revoke those as well.
