Perhaps a schema per user ? Then you can have the common tables (look up values, whatever) in the public schema. Each user gets a schema that has all of the tables they share in common (accounting or addresses or whatever) plus you can add an specialized tables and not worry about other users seeing them. Of course, all table references have to be qualified (myschema.mytable) or you have to set the search_path.

I'd lean toward making each a real postgres user and then revoke all rights ont heir schema from public and allow them access to the schema and the underlying tables.
