Also, "REVOKE CONNECT ON DATABASE finance FROM simon" is probably a
no-op, because nobody ever did "GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE finance TO
simon".  Rather, the reason simon can connect is that there's a
default "GRANT CONNECT ... TO public".  If you want to restrict
CONNECT privileges, you have to revoke that and then hand out
the privilege selectively to users that should have it.
