This is nbow what people call security. Normaly only the dba (database administrator)
is allowed to create tables. But everyone can create tables, views and
sequences. The objects are than only accessible to that user. The user who
created the table has also set the security on that object.

I large company where i work, developers arent allowed to create objects on
the database, this because developers make way to soon objects or change
current tables, so the whole application doesn't work anymore. We have an
user 'postgres'. Only 4 people (there are working 72 people here) have the
ssh-key to login as postgres on the database. User postgres is the owner of
all the objects in every database. User postgres give the proper security
settings for each remote user (normaly websites, applications, etc).

I now, i looks bad, but it's really a good thing
