Hi Rob,
I'm using postgres account (which is a superuser in the database) to create table. Table creation is working fine in other databases except in this. As postgres user, I granted CREATE, USAGE & ALL privileges to postgres account, still it didn't work.
Please find the snapshots below where it works fine and also where it doesn't work fine. And let me know what rights postgres account is missing to create tables in "cms" database.

==========================================
camd=# \c camd postgres
You are now connected to database "camd" as user "postgres".
camd=# create table test(id character varying(80));
CREATE TABLE
camd=# \c cms postgres
You are now connected to database "cms" as user "postgres".
cms=# create table test(id character varying(80));
ERROR: could not create relation "test": Permission denied
cms=#
==========================================

Thanks,
Venkat

Looks to me as though you are not the owner of the schema nor superuser
nor in a role with permission to create tables in said schema. See the
DBA if it's not you. If it is sign on as postgres (superuser) and grant
yourself some access rights.
