Re: changing the password of postres

Dear Gunduz....

It's solved now. Thank you very much for your help.

But I still have one question...

How can I grant privilege to a user on all tables
under a database.

for example the database name is "kv".
What I need is something like this:
"
create user sven with password 'his_password';
grant all on kv.* to sven;
"

Please tell me.

Thank you very much.
