Re: Users can see each others' databases?

Re: Users can see each others' databases?



A crummy but workable solution is to have each user install and run their
own instance of PostgreSQL.  On the other hand, learning to install and
configure a major database is probably a useful learning experience.

Cheetah is completely right. Access restrictions on schema information
come up from time to time, without a viable proposal how to implement
it. Won't happen in the near future, and isn't supposed to be critical.
