that should have worked just fine.


[root@new ~]# useradd fred
[root@new ~]# su - postgres
$ createuser fred
$ createdb fred -O fred
$ logout
[root@new ~]# su - fred
[fred@new ~]$ psql
psql (9.3.19)
Type "help" for help.

fred=> create schema xyzzy;
CREATE SCHEMA
fred=> create table xyzzy.abc (id serial, dat text);
CREATE TABLE
fred=> \q
