I’m having trouble granting privileges to another user in PostgreSQL 8.3. While the GRANT command gives me no error, the privileges do not show up. Do I need to ‘flush’ them?

sirprize=# CREATE DATABASE testdb; CREATE DATABASE sirprize=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE testdb TO testuser; GRANT sirprize=# \c testdb You are now connected to database 'testdb'. testdb=# \z  Access privileges for database 'testdb'  Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges --------+------+------+------------------- (0 rows)  testdb=#

  1. \z Shows your table, view, and sequence permissions, for the objects contained within the Database. It does not show permissions on the database itself. If you create a table or some other object within ‘testdb’, it will then show up in \z‘s output.

    You can see which Databases exist on your system with \l (or \l+ for a bit more info).

    See section 9.22. of the PostgreSQL 8.3 manual for information about how to programatically determine which permissions exist for a user on a given database.
