I see what you mean, but I want set access rights to database, not
for database objects, I want to deny some users to create tables in
database, but permit read values of existing tables.
How to permit various access to tables I know, it's simlpy with `GRANT
[..] ON TABLE ..', but I don't know how to deny creating new tables,
and
I think it's not possible with PostgreSQL, because as I can
understand, GRANT don't support such ability for DATABASE.
Am I right?

will be very fine if I'm mistaken..

THanks.
