[GENERAL] read-only databases

Hi!
  We've discussed the issue and got to conclusion - Postgres needs to
implement more granulated rights. Currently user after connecting to DB can
do almost anything, at least she can create its own tables and do whatever
she wants.
  I want to compare the situation to MySQL. In this field MySQL design is
better than ours - in MySQL database admin can grant and revoke a lot of
rights for given DB - who can connect and from which host, who can CREATE
TABLEs, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP and all that...

Hello there again.

Is there a way to make database 'db' for user 'john' read-only? I mean, is
there a way to disable 'create table/index/etc' SQL statements? I can make
read-only restrictions on existing tables, but -- what about creating new?

PgSQL 6.5, surely. Thanx in advance.

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                   [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
