Bug reference:      1145
Logged by:          Fabien Coelho

Email address:      coelho@cri.ensmp.fr

PostgreSQL version: 7.5 Dev

Operating system:   linux debian

Description:        silent REVOKE failures

Details:

REVOKE fails silently.

It may be a feature, but if so it is not a good one.
The documentation does not say this is a feature.

-- calvin has no "grant" rights on database comics nor -- on schema public.

calvin@[local]:5432
comics=> REVOKE ALL ON SCHEMA public FROM calvin;
REVOKE

calvin@[local]:5432
comics=> SELECT * FROM pg_namespace WHERE nspname='public';
 nspname | nspowner |                       nspacl
---------+----------+----------------------------------------------------
 public  |        1 | {postgres=U*C*/postgres,"groupeleves=U/postgres"}
(1 row)

The REVOKE failure should be reported.
