Dear PG-users,
while praparing a database teaching class with PG 7.1, I have some trouble
setting up a working multi user environment.
My problem is that when some user does a "CREATE TABLE", this table is
created in the *global* namespace, not in the private user schema as I
would have expected.
This means that only the first user can create a table with a given name;
all other users are blocked from using this name in the future.
Question:
Is it possible to assign different users different namespaces?
My current impressions:
- SCHEMA seems to be on the TODO list for PG 7.3.
Thus this problem might be solved next (?) year.
- With PG 7.1 or 7.2 the only way I see is to use a separate database
for each user. As we have about 50 groups in the course, this might
cause some trouble elsewhere.
Is there another workaround?
