[GENERAL] intentional or oversight? pg_dump -c does not restore default priviliges on schema public - Mailing list pgsql-general

L.S.

I noticed the following and wondered whether this is intentional or an
oversight in pg_dump's '-c' option?

The clean option causes the public schema to be dropped and recreated, but
this is done with the default schema priviliges, which are not the same as the
ones assigned during create database:


*** USING PSQL

postgres=# create database publictest;

postgres=# \c publictest;

publictest=# \dn+
                          List of schemas
  Name  |  Owner   |  Access privileges   |      Description
--------+----------+----------------------+------------------------
 public | postgres | postgres=UC/postgres+| standard public schema
        |          | =UC/postgres         |
(1 row)



*** USING SHELL

host:~ # pg_dump -c -f /tmp/publictest -h localhost -Fp -U postgres publictest



*** USING PSQL

publictest=# \i /tmp/publictest

publictest=# \dn+
                        List of schemas
  Name  |  Owner   | Access privileges |      Description
--------+----------+-------------------+------------------------
 public | postgres |                   | standard public schema
(1 row)

publictest=# grant usage on schema public to public;
GRANT
publictest=# grant create on schema public to public;
GRANT

testje=# \dn+
                          List of schemas
  Name  |  Owner   |  Access privileges   |      Description
--------+----------+----------------------+------------------------
 public | postgres | postgres=UC/postgres+| standard public schema
        |          | =UC/postgres         |
(1 row)
