Database Schema

wikipedia:Database schema are analogous to directories at the operating system level, except that schemas cannot be nested. Typical schemas usage scenarios :

• To allow many users to use one database without interfering with each other.
• To organize database objects into logical groups to make them more manageable.
• Third-party applications can be put into separate schemas so they do not collide with the names of other objects.

Examples

• CREATE SCHEMA

Grant examples on schemas:

• GRANT USAGE ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA your_schema TO mygrp;
• GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA your_schema TO GROUP your_group;

• Show/List schemas:
  • select nspname from pg_catalog.pg_namespace;
  • select schema_name from information_schema.schemata;
  • \dn
  • \dn+

PostgreSQL: pg_catalog and public.

GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO xxx;

ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO xxx;
