Just wondering if I've bumped into some security issue.
I'm somewhat surprised that "grant connect to database <dbname>  to

I think you are forgetting that databases have a default GRANT CONNECT
TO PUBLIC.  You need to revoke that before other grants/revokes will
have any functional effect.

And then the search path is "just a string"?


Search_path isn’t a security component and accepts, but ignores, unknown names.  So yes, it is just a string.
