Re: creating users per database

Hello,

I don't think you can create users *inside* a database, but for each
database,
you can create global users and make them members of a group having the same
name than your database.

Then, in pg_hba.conf, the folllowing line will give to your users the
permission to
connect to the database they belong :

    host    samegroup       all             0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 md5

Bye,
Philippe Ferreira.
