Re: Having a problem with RoR-3.1.1 and Pg-9.1

Obviously, I am missing something important here. The
database in question is created thusly:

CREATE DATABASE test
WITH OWNER = devl
ENCODING = 'UTF8'
TABLESPACE = pg_default
LC_COLLATE = 'en_US.UTF-8'
LC_CTYPE = 'en_US.UTF-8'
CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;

The manual says this:

Loading an extension requires the same privileges that
would be required to create its component objects. For
most extensions this means superuser or database owner
privileges are needed. The user who runs CREATE EXTENSION
becomes the owner of the extension for purposes of later
privilege checks, as well as the owner of any objects
created by the extension's script.

However, looking at the extension properties shows this:

-- Extension: plpgsql

-- DROP EXTENSION plpgsql;

CREATE EXTENSION plpgsql
SCHEMA pg_catalog
VERSION "1.0";
ALTER EXTENSION plpgsql
OWNER TO postgres;

So, why is the plpgsql extension in test owned by postgres
and not by devl to begin with?
