Is it possible to make data files owned by a unix user other than
postgres?

It would be convenient for me because that would help to enforce quotas.

Are there other methods? Is it dangerous (aside from the dangers to that
user, obviously) to let them delete files in their data directory? Does
postgres handle out-of-disk errors in a reasonable way?

Jeff Davis
