Thread: security problem ?

Hi.

Using postgres 6.5.3-1 i meet a feature:
any (authenticated) user can create table in any
database and it does not matter who is owner of database.
But (and it's right) he can't access existing tables if ones
was not 'granted'.

You could call that a design deficiency. I hope to do something about that
for 7.1 but for now you're stuck with it.
