Re: create table permission

What about
a cycle taht does:
create table table1(....);
create table table2(....);
....................
create table tableN(....);

and another:
insert into table1 values(.....);
insert into table2 values(.....);
....................
insert into tablen values(.....);

And so on till out fo disk spoace occurs.
This could be done by even the most restricted users taht can access the
database.

Isn't is a huge and obvious secyrity hole?
