The former is debatable, the latter simply wrong. Make the DB owner a
superuser if you want him to have absolute privileges.
There has been some discussion of causing the public schema to be owned
by the DB owner, but this has not happened yet, partly because we are
not sure of all the consequences.

And using 8.0... I saw that but was looking for a 7.4 solution...
