Well, that's what I'd expect to see --- but the prompt indicates that you
did this in the "postgres" database, which is not where you're having the
problem. We need to look at the public schema within the mypcc database.

Hm... that would have the effect of preventing connections to mypcc,
except by the database owner and superusers. However, since you're
not complaining that you can't connect, that doesn't seem to be
your problem.

The error message you quoted was quite clearly complaining about
permissions on a schema, not a database. Those are entirely separate
concepts in Postgres (although not in some other DBMSes, which perhaps
is contributing to your confusion).
