i'm a PostgreSQL newbie trying to set up a PostgreSQL for development
purposes. i've previously been using Oracle8i and i'm a bit confused about
the differences in database and user concepts in Oracle vs. PostgreSQL. in
Oracle all the users in a database have their own database schemas by
default. in PostgreSQL this doesn't seem to be the case. when i create a
database and connect to it with two different user accounts both see
tables created by the other. is database in PostgreSQL more like a
database schema in Oracle? where could i find a definition of these
concepts?
