Re: Question: CREATE EXTENSION and create schema permission?

The attached patch adds permission check at the scenario that I
explained bellow.

Unlike CreateSchemaCommand(), we don't have check_is_member_of_role() here
because the extowner is obviously same with the current user in this code path.

I hope this patch being also back ported to v9.1 tree, not only v9.2
development.

Thanks,
