Docs say: Only the database owner or a superuser can rename a database;
non-superuser owners must also have the CREATEDB privilege.
Looks like a superuser must have CREATEDB too:
fduch(at)~=# SELECT usesuper, usecreatedb from pg_user where usename = 'fduch';
usesuper | usecreatedb
----------+-------------
t | f
(1 row)
fduch(at)~=# CREATE DATABASE test owner stat;
CREATE DATABASE
fduch(at)~=# ALTER DATABASE test RENAME TO work;
ERROR: permission denied to rename database
fduch(at)~=# ALTER DATABASE test OWNER TO fduch ;
ALTER DATABASE
fduch(at)~=# ALTER DATABASE test RENAME TO work;
ERROR: permission denied to rename database
At last:
fduch(at)~=# ALTER USER fduch CREATEDB ;
ALTER USER
fduch(at)~=# ALTER DATABASE test RENAME TO work;
ALTER DATABASE
fduch(at)~=# ALTER DATABASE work OWNER TO stat;
ALTER DATABASE
fduch(at)~=# ALTER DATABASE work RENAME TO test;
