You have to do it per schema basis. This is on a CVS tip on windows so you might
have to check for any version differences.
Grant help says that 'create on database' is for creating schemas and 'create on
schema' is create objects in schema.
What you could do is,
* revoke all user rights
* grant access to one schema
* revoke create for that schema.
I hope that is good enough for you..
