<div dir="ltr">Thanks Tom and Andrew!<br />This is indeed interesting.<br /><br />Because I have a couple more of these
questions,and I prefer to avoid receiving a RTFM,<br />I'd appreciate if you could help me understand how I can
researchthe answers to these type of questions by myself.<br /><br />The example questions I gave are just some of the
questionsI've tried to search the answer to, using google and searching this mailing list specifically, but I came up
withnothing. Could I perhaps search the commit comments somehow? Or perhaps a different approach to suggest?<br /><br

2008and the<br /> 2011 drafts) has no concept of grantable permissions on schemas, and<br /> ties table ownership and
schemaownership together.<br /><br /> (See the definition of <privileges> to see that there's nothing there<br />
forschemas, and the definition of <table definition> for the fact that<br /> it's the schema owner who also owns
thetable and gets the initial<br /> grants on it, and <drop table statement> and <alter table statement>
to<br/> confirm that only the schema owner can alter or drop the table. The<br /> access rules for <table
reference>only require permission on a table<br /> column, no mention of schemas.)<br /><span class="HOEnZb"><font
